Brian,
I just verified Frame.toFront() works -- Frame.toBack() remains
unimplemented for the Win32 AWT in 1.0. I'm in the process of
rewriting the Win32 AWT, and the new design will make it much
easier to implement both methods.
It's hard to verify that toFront() works, because our earlier tests
used one of the Frame's menu items or buttons to invoke the method --
since Windows automatically brings a frame forward when you click on
it, toFront() wound up doing nothing in those tests. It works when you
create a second frame and have the test frame send the second one the
toFront() method (toBack() is ignored) -- just obscure the second frame
with any frame besides the test one, invoke its toFront() method, and
up it pops.
If you have several frames, you can ("in theory", as in, I haven't
tested this) simulate toBack() by either bringing the other frames
toFront() in some order, or by sending hide() to the top frame.

I earlier reported that Frame.toFront() and Frame.toBack()
were not functioning in Windows 95. Arthur van Hoff then
responded that I can count on this being fixed. Well...
Java v.1 is here, toFront isn't fixed, and Arthur's off to do
great things elsewhere...
I desperately need toFront/toBack() implemented. How best
can I facilitate this?
Thanks,
