Java Applet

Hi all,

I need to know how to close an applet window that is running off an applet. It is called from the applet. I have tried the following from a class called

class VehicleMaintenance extends Applet
implements ActionListener {
...........

if (source == button1 ) {
Frame f = new Frame("Rent-Ur-Wheels");
VehicleRental vR = new VehicleRental();
f.add(vR);
f.setSize(300, 100);
f.show();
WindowListener l =
new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
}
};
f.addWindowListener(l);
}

...........
}
but that does not seem to close the window down at all. It displays the window and its contents of the VehicleRental Class - class VehicleRental extends Panel{...} , minimises and maximises but wont close.

Can someone help please
Thanks.

f.add(vR);
f.setSize(300, 100);
f.show();
WindowListener l =
new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
f.setVisible(false);
f.dispose();
// System.exit(0);
}
};
f.addWindowListener(l);
}

Attempt to use a non-final variable f from a different method.From enclosing blocks only final local varibles are available
