That was a good suggestion however I just tried it and it still doesn't
repaint until the loop is finished.  I placed the "repaint()" method call
inside the loop immediately after the call to "setLocation(x,y)".  I also
tried the "paintAll" method with similar failure.  The problem also seems to
occur with simple TextControls.

Any other suggestions?  Perhaps someone knows of a working example that I
could look at???
