Despite your wish I *will* point you to the tutorial

Please don't point me to the java API specifications; I know where
that is, and it doesn't constitute as an FM; it's messy and there's no
easy way to find exactly what you need, unless you happen to know the
exact right terminology.

I don't agree with you on that. I have always found the necessary interfaces in
the API docs. Especially if I have a "starting class" to look at, as you have.

So where in the API docs is the solution to my problem? I didn't say
it's useless, but it doesn't answer every question you might have.

I already have a java.awt.Frame (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.
2. It's impossible to close the GUI by the X button in the top left-
hand corner of the window.

Knowing this, can anyone point me to a tutorial/manual/reference that
has the information I need?

I don't have any tutorials on AWT at hand, but if there isn't a really, really
good reason to restrict yourself to AWT, I suggest you read the Swing tutorial

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/index.html
especially:http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events/index.html

Thanks; I'll take a look at that.
