      Dear Mentor(s)

      Well, I feel progress is being made. Only one error showed up this time. However, I
      still can't figure out what the resolution is. It looks like the compiler can't
      find the method "mouseClicked."

      Scott, thanks for all your help. As a teacher I know you can be frestrated by students
      not trying to find the answers to their own questions. Well I looked in the Java
      Platform 1.1 Core API Specification for help on this issue, but no luck.

      I think when I get this one compiled I'm going to throw a party.

      Thanks,

      Kim

      Kim,

      Note the compiler's error listing:
      ClickHere.java:5: class ClickHere must be declared abstract. It does not define
      void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent)

      It is expecting a method -
      public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent evt) (the parameter name doesn't matter). Yours
      is defined - ...mouseClicked(MouseEvent evt, int x, int y) with extra parameters. As
      far as Java is concerned, your function is totally different from the the one it
      is looking for. You have extra parameters. You can get the x and y from the MouseEvent.
