Thank you Brian. Using "extend' made it work.

> In Core Java, it says that javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter is an interface and it shows example code for implemeting it?

> This error from the 4th edition is retracted in the Bug List on Cay Horstmann's web site.

> When I replaced it with java.io.FileFilter, the setFileFilter method won't accept it as an argument because it only accepts javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter.

> You should, rather, make class TxtFilter extend javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter. Sorry to have been confusing in this matter.
