if (Request.equals("HELLO"))
{
// Write Results to Monitor
logDisplay.append("Results: HELLO BACK\n");
}
If there are more possibilities, then:
else if (Request.equals("GOODBYE"))
{
...
}
else if (Request.equals("THANKYOU"))
{
...
}
and so forth.
Incidentally, it could trip up people who are trying to help you if you
use bad variable names in posts to public newsgroups. The practically-
universal Java naming convention is to begin variable names with a
lower-case letter (for example, request instead of Request) -- unless
they are constants, in which case you'd use all-caps.
