      The statement "new hcstrt();" is a request to Swing to create a GUI
      instance of this application. It includes, in effect, all the state-
      ments in the constructor methods of all this class's child classes.
      All these requests are made on this, the main() program thread. 

      However, these requests are carried out [ie the actual constructing is 
      done] by the underlying Swing system on the Event Despatching Thread. 
      The constructing process necessarily takes longer to do than the mere
      task of REQUESTING that the constructing be done. This means that the
      main() thread will set the run() thread in motion before the GUI has 
      finished being constructed. Hence trouble.

      The solution is to force the main() thread to withhold permission for 
      the run() thread to start its job until the Event Despatching Thread 
      has completely finished constructing the GUI. */
