I am trying to get it to where if the user selects new it will change
the panel, but it isn't working at all.  Nothing changes, but I know
the event method is getting called, because of a print statment.

[code]
private void jMenuItemNewActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent
evt) {
       java.awt.CardLayout cl = (CardLayout)jPanelMain.getLayout();
       String path = "jPanelPagePageWelcome";
       cl.show(jPanelMain,path);
       System.out.println(path);
   }
[/code]
That is where I try to use the cardlayout.  The rest of the code is
below
