    // Put all "words" in a string into an array.
    String[] stringToArray(String wordString) {
        String[] result;
        int i = 0;     // index into the next empty array element

        //--- Declare and create a StringTokenizer
        StringTokenizer st;
        st = new StringTokenizer(wordString);

        //--- Create an array which will hold all the tokens.
        result = new String[st.countTokens()];

        //--- Loop, getting each of the tokens
        while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
