    -------------------------------------------------------------- 

button actions

alpha: sort contents of screen by alphabeetical order
freq: sort contents of screen by frequency
regex:
    if no regex is entered in the text field or if it's
    crap do nothing
    Otherwise, show only words and their frequencies
    that match the regex.

    This means you get to play with Java's regex facility!

Menu actions
    Save window:  pops a file chooser and saves contents
    of a window to the selected file.
    Open:  Opens a file, generates a concordance file
    (filename + ".conc"), closes test file, and opens the 
    .conc file for reading.
    Quit: calls Platform.exit()

stop:
    if the screen contents are unsaved, asks to save them.

Starter Code I did some of the drudge work for you.

Compile it and run it. You will see this.
