Ok, so you know how to draw a GUI in Visual Age. But it doesn't really do

Ok, so it's not very interesting. But it has all the fundamental stuff (and
it'll only take an hour or so). So, start at the top and work your way down:

The Tutorial

- Laying the Foundation
- A Connection Is Made
- Being Objective
- Getting Some Action
