circuitously and long-windedly]

Haven't you got anything better to do?

That's rich, coming from you!

Who the hell are you, and why don't I remember asking for your
opinion? I don't suppose it occurred to you that making your debut
post to a newsgroup an OT, flaming one isn't exactly either normal or
wise?

If you're posting Fortran [*], however ....

[*] Preferred capitalization, AIUI, for Fortran 90 and beyond, which
provides for a less restrictive source format.

I don't see the point of FORTRAN beyond FORTRAN 77. There are better
languages out there in my opinion.

<shrug> Okay with me. Just sayin', for the record and for anyone
who doesn't know, that Fortran beyond FORTRAN 77 does exist (and
has some adherents, judging by traffic in comp.lang.fortran).

Wow, you're just getting pwnzord left and right there, Mr. blmblm. ;-)

I am? < pause while I Google for a definition of "pwnzord" >

Oh no, does this mean I have to drag this thread further off-topic
to defend .... something?

("Mr." isn't the right title, BTW -- wrong gender -- but
I won't argue with anyone who wants to claim that "probably
male" is the way to bet when one isn't sure.)

Hey guys!!

I'm trying to figure ...

I suppose it has become apparant now, that this thread
has attracted a lot of comment not directly connected with
the technical question.

That happens sometimes.

Note that if you were to supply an SSCCE (or link to one)
I am confident that there are a number of people (myself
included) who would still be interested in looking at the
technical side of the problem, with a view to resolving it.

Hi again!

I'm really still a java novice so really, I'm sorry if I offended
anyone. I am not sure how to re-post this because I had simply copied
and pasted from eclipse before and it worked just fine. From one of
the suggestions above I've used google docs and you can find a
slightly modified version of the code here:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcqbcf4x_28g9vprb
I simply need to figure out why when I re-set my text area I see no
changes, although from this page of the Sun website it should work:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events/actionlistener.html

Thanks,
JL

Hey!!!!!!!!!!
I found the answer (for those who actually wanted to know what was
wrong with the code =))! You see the method where I created my
buttons? That's where I was supposed to add the action listener,
instead of later on in the constructor.

Peace...

Yay!

...(for those who actually wanted to know what was

It is always helpful to report the solution back.

...That's where I was supposed to add the action listener,

Thanks for getting back to the thread, & reporting the solution.

And as for the 'diversion' that happened - that was entirely
other people's doing. They had fun doing it (hopefully), but
in case they didn't, that is entirely their own problem.

Peace...

ditto.. Glad you found the technical resolution.
