public class Monitor
extends javax.swing.JFrame
implements StringAppendable, StringInputReader

A monitor represents a GUI screen for normal text output. It has scrolling, saving, exiting program, copying capabilities. General uses would be to use the monitor.out PrintStream to print as if you want to print using System.out. For Example: Monitor monitor=new Monitor(); monitor.out.println("Easy Handling Screen Output"); For capturing Inputs, its the same as the command line keyboard input. all you need to do is rap the inputStream into a BufferedReader. BufferedReader input=new BufferedReader(new InputStramReader(monitor.in));
