thanks again. 

The "do i have a GUI" question confuses me.  the program is running on a unix 
operating system running on a mainframe.   so i guess i'd say i do not have a 
gui.   i don't want the program to display the spreadsheet, just write it to a 
file,which i will email.  

i'll have to look into the swing examples.   swing is used to build gui's, i 
know that much....

i'll as the admin if they have a clue.
