Jim,
I think you're on the wrong list. Your problem does not seem to be
Java, but you seem to be missing beginners knowledge.
Get a book for novice programmers and start experimenting with the
code....
And don't look at the code of experienced programmers...

At present I am *stuck* so I don't see my understanding getting any
better
!!!!
If, like I have done before, I can see a solution, I can then learn from
that solution and be able to solve problems that come up that are of a
similar nature. That is what I am thinking of.
