I wish to deflect future RTFM responses.

Good for you. Mind you, starting a thread
with that statement is less likely to achieve
the desired result, than writing sensible posts.

Please don't point me to the java API specifications;

Are you referring to the JLS?

..I know where
that is, and it doesn't constitute as an FM;

Frequency modulation? Field manual? What?

What does RTFM stand for? Now take off the RT.


I already have a java.awt.Frame

Why are you working with AWT?

Because I haven't had a FM to work with; I had to start somewhere.

..(i.e. "public SomeWindow extends
Frame") written up, and have two issues in particular with it:
1. I have no idea how to detect events. In particular, I need to
detect button clicks on a particular area of the canvas.

A good way to find information at Sun is
to use a search string along these lines..
<http://www.google.com/search?q=java+tutorial+event+click>

Start it with 'java tutorial' and end with a
couple of words of interest.

2. It's impossible to close the GUI by the X button in the top left-
hand corner of the window.
