src	Jdoc	class	note
		AccentAction.java	In lieu of many Input methods, this class provides keystrokes for most European characters.
		Arrow.java	Draw an arrow. Among the options are the color, the width, presence of arrowheads at either end, and a label for the arrow's shaft.
		CheckOff.java	Presents a list of strings with checkboxes and asks the user to pick one or more.
		ChoosableFileField.java	Combines a JTextField naming a file-or-directory and a button to set the field via JFileChooser.
		DateParser.java	Parses dates written in many possible month-before-day formats.
		DragRect.java	Display a rectangle whose body and boundaries are draggable.
		Embed.java	Super-class of objects embedable in an HTMLPage. Each enables interaction between the program and a document.
		HelpBox.java	Adds to the display a window for a helpfile describing the client. Accepts location messages from the client and scolls the help window.
		HelpfulFileChooser.java	Tries to do a slightly better job of asking for a file.
		HTMLDocPlus.java	(deprecated in favor of HTMLKit, HTMLPage, HTMLPane, and Embed.) An augmented HTMLDoc. Most important is a mechanism for adding behaviors to what would otherwise be static elements in the document. Button presses can do anything: text can be revised, Images can change.
		HTMLKit.java	Extends HTMLEditorKit. Provides editing tools for HTMLPage as displayed in an HTMLPane. Part of a set of enhancements for HTMLDoc and friend.
		HTMLPage.java	Extends HTMLDocument. Contains the document to be displayed. Part of a set of enhancements for HTMLDoc and friend.
		HTMLPane.java	Extends JTextPane. Is the screen-space manager for an HTNLPage. Part of a set of enhancements for HTMLDoc and friend.
		INumber.java	A number parser.
		Pointer.java	A subclass of Arrow that draws its arrow from one AWT Component to another. The trickiest part was choosing attachment points for each Component.
		PropCon.java	A subclass of Properties with defaults that can be connected to the same same set of properties files as accessed by Pictools's propcon.c
		PropertyPack.java	A property machine that extends Java's ResourceBundles, especially in supporting multiple sources of propeties.
		PropertyPack_Bundle.java	The Bundle manager for PropetyPack
		TextFields.java	A TextFields is an adjunct to a JEditorPane. It delimits sections of the text that are editable and highlighted. There is also provision for adding labels with arrows to the segments.
