Thanks, Java Guy,
I was afraid of that.
I think I'm too set in my ways; I've long regarded OOP as a 'black-box' approach to scoping of variables and separating code from data. I expect this view is wrong, but it does seem little more than an exercise in semantics and mindset-adjustment.
Just to fill-in a little more of my coding history, I learned Z80 assembler in the early 1980's, and moved on to BASIC and then C in the early 1990's, always as a hobbyist. I have never programmed for a living, but have made several software tools to support my main hobby of amateur radio construction. My last programs were written in 1996. I had hoped to drag my game kicking and squealing into the present millenium with a 'modern' language, and Java appears adequate (easily ported, lots of plug-ins), I only hope I'm able to learn it before the wetware starts rotting too far.
I'll soldier on with the Sun Tutorial series (I agree; they've done a nice job), but just this weekend I felt somewhat down-hearted, and even found myself trying to get my old Borland Turbo C 4.5 IDE running under Wine on my netbook. Now that's _desperation_

Pete,
Coming from C, you really have 2 concepts to learn, not one. First, Java
is an Object-Oriented language, so you need to learn OOP
(Object-Oriented Programming)
