The program looks something like this:

String dataString = array[0];
Node.setData(dataString);

This is a bit like asking a doctor to diagnose your prostate cancer
from the phrase "my prostate is sort of round and in an embarrassing
place."

The devil is in the details. You need to construct a tiny COMPLETE
program. The problem is almost never where you thought was, or else
you would have found it. It is in the part you did not reveal.

Yes, I did figure it out! I learned so much just on this one problem,
it's amazing and because I spent so much time on it, I don't think
I'll forget this anytime soon. :p

I tried really hard to read the Java docs on the syntax of their
commands, yep very hard. Manuals are not a new thing to me, but
because it's still new to me, it's a bit intimidating. I usually end
up doing a google search and reading everything that comes up hoping
someone will give an example which JavaDocs don't have for usage.
They should have a newbie Javadoc format. :p (kidding!)

Thanks, Lew, for your words of encouragement. At one point, I
seriously didn't think I was going to get past the problems I
encountered. (Btw, your name scared me the first time I saw it, it's
the name of my Professor for my algorithm class! Lol. First time I
saw it, I nearly fell off my chair.)

Roedy, you've been particularly helpful and patient in your
suggestions and postings. I ransacked your website for information
the other day on related subjects (and unrelated stuff like that
insult generator.) :) Cool stuff!

Thanks again guys!
