Java question

[Jeffrey Kesselman]

Short answer.... Java GUI apps don't work with Matchbook yet.

Long answer:

Each Java Window will be a ful l creen display, use alt-n/alt-p to
move between them.

HOWEVER

Layout doesn't work quite right, it thinks the window is much smaller
then it really is.

Pull down menus don't work at all.
