Hi John,
I'm not really very conversant with Eclipse at the moment and trying to
learn my way around it - getting there incredibly slowly.
I've been using BlueJ and am able to create new classes and execute them
in
the provided workspace. Had a look at the snippets but they all seem to
contain import statements for eclipse which are naturally invalid.
Thanks all the same.
roger
