I am prevented from compiling my code by a simple matter of finding a stupid example of what to import to get the list template. Yes I searched the docs. I found List was in the Collections framework under java.util. So I have tried practically every import directive I can think of to import it and they all fail. Can someone please fire off a one-liner telling me what to import or declare or whatever so I can use a simple List<String>??? I'm sure this isn't the last time I will use this class. I was planning on sending this this morning but this bug has been wasting me too much time. Thanks. --le
