Perfect; thanks everyone for the replies! Usually I google for terms instead of posting, but in this case I just wanted to know what y'all, specifically, would say..
Ya see I'm re-reading a section in Sierra's _Sun Certified programmer & Developer for Java 2_, Chapter 9, "Threads", re-doing Exercise 9-2, "Synchronizing a Block of Code".. There was a bit I didn't grok, so I was searching through these JavaRanch forums and kept finding undefined references to that term. But anyway thanks again; all better now.
