/**
 * Button panel employs a BorderLayout to lay out a Separator in 
 * the north, and a Panel to which Buttons are added in the 
 * center.<p>
 *
 * Buttons may be added to the panel via two methods:
 * <dl>
 * <dd> void   add(Button)
 * <dd> Button add(String)
 * </dl>
 * <p>
 *
 * Button add(String) creates a Button and adds it to the
 * panel, then returns the Button created, as a convenience to
 * clients so that they do not have to go through the pain
 * and agony of creating an ImageButton.<p>
