Hi Dean,

There isn't a primer on peers (as far as I know). The peers are used
only for implementing the AWT using native widgets, they are normally
of no concern to AWT programmers. So unless you are implementing the
AWT you can safely ignore them.

No. It is only for debugging.

No.

Are you using Netscape?

Cool!
Have fun,
