This code is for a java applet, and you enter a word, hit the enter key, then click a check box and then the answer will output just below the check box, if you enter a word, hit the enter key, then choose a checkbox, the word will paint, if you then enter a different word it will the output will go over that first word, how can I fix that so that the first answer disappears?
