[<xi...@pr...>]

I suppose my question regarding JFrame extending Frame 
is simply the fact that as_frame() calls wouldn't need 
to change (Frame f = myplugin.as_frame();)

Can you add a WindowListener to a JFrame through its 
parent class's addWindowListener?

I just don't want to change stuff I don't have to...  
As long as you implement the xCommPluginable interface 
with the stuff, I don't care if the whole thing is re-
worked...  Although.... look at the xPanel..it returns 
a panel...  Can a JPanel be returned in its stead? I'm 
trying to separate the core connectivity piece from 
the GUI entirely..
