Hello everyone,

I am writing a program that is for a programming class..This program has to display syntax when the appropriate button is pushed..it also has a menu bar that must be functional. It must also run as an applet and as an application.
The above is complete and my program functions as expected with a few minor problems...This is interesting...When I run it from Eclipse3.0 as an applet and use the exit function from the menu bar it exits with no problem..but, when I run it from the command line as an applet it will not exit properly. Also when I run it as an applet all the Syntax Buttons work without generating exceptions. If I run it as an application all the Syntax Buttons generate exceptions..???But yet it still works as expected...I am posting the code for anyone who may be able to help me..I am not asking for you to do it for me as you will see I have tried multiple ways of fixing it..I have commented out things that did not work.any help would be greatly appreciated.
