Nancy:
The task isnt hopeless but it also isnt trying to make docs (healthcare
practitoners of all types) into information systems engineers (you are
doing far better than I as a clinical laboratorian, for example) but
rather sufficiently oriented to engage in productive dialog with such
engineers. The key practitioner contribution lies in the conceptual
content and how it is used in cognitive processing and how to describe
this to their counterpart engineers; the reverse process involves getting
information systems engineers in biomedical health informatics
sufficiently aware to the background biomedical conceptual matrix that
they know how to engineer (define,design, code, test,validate) systems that
do what practitioners need. We've got some pretty talented participants
in hardhats, WV and the VA and their associated suppliers. Historically
the M community (with example by Octo Barnett to begin it all) has been an
unusually innovative and collaborative bunch whose real story is yet to be
told but just keep learning all you can and pushing to do the things we've
all set out to contribute to and dont try to turn everytone into a
comprehensive genius. We'll have a lot of fun and produce more than others
can imagine and we can take tim out to celebrate one of these days! But
dont Give UP!

You know, Greg, it may be just as hopeless getting us docs on board with this
ideal computer professional behavior as it is getting doctors in the US
military to act like line officers. Sometimes it is just easier to give up!
However, I admire that you are at least trying to straighten us up!

Perhaps the worst thing is that back in the main
Triton class, I have
code like this.
void setConnected(boolean isConnected) {
l_connected = isConnected;
if (l_connected) {
mi_login.setEnabled(false);
mi_logout.setEnabled(true);
} else {
mi_login.setEnabled(true);
mi_logout.setEnabled(false);
}
}
boolean isConnected() {
return(l_connected);
}
All this does is toggle the "connected" state, and
enables/disables
menu items accordingly. I really, really don't like
this design.

I've done very little with java, so let me feel my

here.
I assume that function public LoginDialog is the
constructor for class LoginDialog. I see Frame
passed
as a parameter to the constructor, but I don't see
that you use it. What is it doing?
