Rich,

I tried to set the cursor postion to 0 like you suggested, but I can not
find any properties or methods that would facilitate that  (anybody know how
to do that with swing, Java2).  I'm using Java2 swing (javax) components.
One thought I had was to create a KeyEvent that would imitate a Home Button
pressed (which moves the cursor to the begining of the component) then send
it to the JTextField in hopes that it would move its cursor to the
beginning. The problem is that:
1) I'm not sure what event to create.  I think that KeyEvent is AWT.  If I'm
not mistaken I should be using only swing events since I'm using swing
components.
2) I don't know how to send an event to the components.

Well, the bottom line is that I can't get the JTextField components to
justify to the left when they display a string, like in the example I gave
yesterday.  If anyone can help please feel free to do so.

Thanks again,
Redding
