cool.  i'll take it outta CVS then so we don't have a cluttered 
repository.  i think i'll also take out the textbutton and page widget 
classes since those are also not used anymore.  sound good?

oops.  i misunderstood.  to create elements (starting with the root 
element, of which there can only be one):

Document d = DocumentHelper.createDocument();
Element rootElement = d.addElement("indiana");
Element subElement = root.addElement("basketball");
subElement.addAttribute("is_cool", "true");

that's all there is to it.. just keeping adding elements and so forth.

cool beans.  sounds good.  it'd be cool to have the prefs also save the 
setup of the GUI (like how big each splitpane is, etc.) eventually. 
that drives me crazy right now cause i'll change the size of the tree 
but i have to do it every time.  :)  oh well.  prefs are our friends.

later,
