First, I should mention that when you include code in a post, it would
very helpful if you would format it reasonably.  Some newsreaders do not
handle tabs, so it is a good idea to untabify the code before you paste it
in.  If that does not work, you can just format it yourself in the message.

If you want to add a new JInternalFrame to the existing, instance of
JDesktopPane that is being displayed, then creating a new JDesktopPane
and adding it to that does not help.  You need to make sure you have
access to that existing instance.  One way to do this is to pass it an
argument in its constructor.

It would also make a lot more sense to write a single method to create the
new JInternalFrame.  Instead of placing that code in the ActionListener
for a menu item, extract that into a separate method which you call from
that ActionListener.  Then you can use the same method when you want to
create the frame from a different context.
