multi frames in one project?

[Jon Landenburger]

I am sure this question will reveal my ignorance But I will still put it
forth. I have created a number of applets using just JAVA and a text
editor. A freind of mine asked me to help get up to speed on JAva using
Jbuilder. We found it farily easy to get into it an put pieces
together. The thing is we would like to have a menu with a zillion
options, each option going to its own screen (frame?). This is my
confusion. I am lost as to how to do this with Jbuilder. In simple
Java I would build an applet with a panel with a card layout, Then
define separate classes for each screen. Each screen, would offer the
operator an option to go back to the top, exit or go to another screen.
But all screen navigation would done by calling a methosd in the parent
which "flipped the card" by doing a show().

With what I had build in JBUILDER i cwas not able to show a frame from
another. But I can show anyone one of theframes from the application
class. Thing is I am not sure has to the means to commujicate to the
application class (the parent?) from the frame classes.

Enlighten me o wise one.
