Here's a question for all of you - how do you determine the *absolute*
location of a mouse-down event on the users screen? ie, if I wanted a
new window to pop up where I clicked on a frame, how would I determine
where that is? Determining where the event occured in the frame is no
problem; but I can't figure out where to find out where the frame is in
the windows environment...
thanks for any help!

Use location() from Component. It works in a Frame too.

Eli...
Use the method
public Point location()
which returns the current location of this component. The location will
be in the parent's coordinate space.
Hope this helps...
