I am having problems with a case statement, I am sure that I have seen code
with what I need in but have had no success looking through several
reference books or the JBuilder help.

This I can do already, in another part of the code (a simple library system
accessed through the console)
      switch (aChar)
      {
        case 'A' :
          hanAdd();  break;
        case 'P' :
          hanPrint();  break;
        case 'Q' :
          hanQuit();  break;
        case 'F' :
          hanFind();  break;

        default :
          break;
      }
What I want to do in another part is to check that the char at a place in a
String is either a number, a lower case letter or a capitol letter. I think
it is along the lines of 'case "a..z" ' but have been unable to compile
using single/double quotes in several combinations like 'a' .. 'z' and all
the others I can think of.

If you know the format please pass your knowledge to me.

Thanks,
