I know.

I need to add WindowListener events.  I'll be doing that soon.

This is awesome! Thanks!

Yup. The commit worked. I have the new code.

I use Fedora Core 3 at home, so I just use the command-line cvs.
At work I've been using Eclipse's built-in CVS access.

I just started out by adding the project from cvs, and then commits and updates work with no problem.

Buttons aren't necessary. I can continue doing the same thing as I have with making the company name clickable.

I've been taking quite a few cues from your screenshots. :-)

Good ideas. Lemme roll 'em around in my head a while.

> Oh yes, and we need an Undo button!

I agree. Though, that means tracking actions so that we have something to undo.
