classes, variable scope and other things.

People approaching GUI devlopment should *not*
be describing themselves as 'VERY new'.

For some reason I cannot figure out how to tell what the 'value' of
the string is, although I can use the string. Here is my code:

<code>
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)....
// compare the object references

if(type == "C" || type == "c") // compare the string contents
if ( type.equals("C") || type.equals("c") )
....

Well... I am very new to Java (I am quite used to vb.net which is VERY
different) I have now got a few hours with Java, a few years with
vb.net. My course is using Java to teach good class design so I must
learn the language.

Thanks for your help. I am sure I will be looking for more in the
future! ;)
