[Biojava-l] Navigating a Vector

[Francois Pepin]

Vector implements List and List guarantees that the iterator goes
through the right order. And getting a ListIterator lets you go back and
forth.

And indexOf(Object element) would give you the (first) index of where a
given element is found.

Is there something I'm missing here?
