I tried doing this and I get the error "Cannot make a static reference to
a non-static variable my_var".  here's more or less what I'm doing.

Dialog created in my_Applet.java.  In dialog at one point I say
    my_Applet.my_var = temp_string;

This is where I get the error.  I'm probably missing something really
simple, but what?

Thanks.
