     I am trying out Java and the awt to write simple application as a 
     means of learning them both. I working with the prebeta.
     
     My current questions is how do I get notified when a menu item is 
     selected. Looking at the HotJava alpha 3 source it uses the selected 
     method of the menu class but the prebeta awt does have such a method, 
     what do I use instead ?
     
     On a more general note, learning the awt would be eased if an overview 
     document describing its overall structure, event handling mechanism 
     etc was available, is such a beast on the way ? A sample program that 
     used the prebeta awt to create a app would also be useful.
     
     Are there any plans to add the ability to store text strings, menus 
     etc in a seperate resource file to java ? This is needed to ease 
     internationalisation of java applications.
     
     many thanks,
