Metalworks Features
===================
The functionality of the Metalworks demo is minimal, and many controls are
non-functional.  They are only intended to show how to construct the UI for
such interfaces.  Things that do work in the Metalworks demo include:

1. Choosing New from the File menu displays an email composition window.

2. Choosing Open from the File menu brings up the file chooser.

3. Choosing Preferences from the Edit menu will bring up a dialog.  Most of
   this dialog is only for show.

4. Choosing About Metalworks from the help menu brings up a JOptionPane with
   a brief description of the application.

5. Choosing Open Help Window from the Help menu brings up an internal frame
   which displays a set of HTML files containing all sorts of useful info.
   Look through these for tips about using Metal.

6. Selecting from the Theme menu allows you to change the color theme of the
   application.  The default theme (Steel) and several other demo themes are
   included.  One note that the themes can control the sizes, as well as the
   colors of many controls.  Also included with this release is the
   PropertiesMetalTheme class which allows you to read a theme's colors from a
   text file.  The Charcoal theme is an example of using this.

7. Selecting from the Drag menu allows you to change the dragging style of the 
   JInternalFrames( ie. email composition window, In-Box window & Help window).
