In that case, it is best to be coding command line
applications, until you become used to the control
and looping structures, methods, attributes and
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") )
....

or type.equalsIgnoreCase("c")

Shouldn't need equalsIgnoreCase() because of the use of
String.toUpperCase()
......just a thought
