[Jprogramming] Creating grids

[Donald Pittenger]

I came out of retirement a while ago to do some work for my former  
employer.  I'm trying to create some example programs that require  
grids -- something I never had to do in the past.

I've spent more than a day trying to get up to speed on locales and  
grids, looking at JWiki, Labs, etc., but so far I've been unable to  
create a grid that so much as displays numbers.

Attached is code for a test app that has all my failed efforts  
stripped out and a potential place for grid code indicated.  All is  
in the base locale, because I'm not sure where locale changes might  
best be placed.

The code creates a main form from which another form containing a  
grid (or two?) along with buttons and other features will pop up.   
This pop-up feature is essential to my concept.

Are there examples of code buried in the JSoftware site that would  
show me how to deal with this?  Are there previous Programming Forum  
items?  (The chronological search is unhelpful when seeking topics.)

Also, note that I'm programming this on a Mac; can I assume grids can  
be programmed using a Mac?

Thank you for any help.
