This is a follo up of a prob I had getting textpad.exe to compile and run java 
applications. The url with the answer was, 
http://www.textpad.com/support/faq/java.html from which, "First make sure you 
installed the JDK using its setup program as it writes important information to the 
registry that TextPad needs to locate Javac.exe. If you copied the JDK from another 
machine it will not work correctly with TextPad. After you have run the installation 
program for the JDK, do the following:

Click on Configure. 
Select Preferences. 
Select Tools. 
Delete the 3 JDK commands (if present). 
Click Apply. 
Click the Add button and select the JDK commands. 
Click OK."

So its important if you have textpad installed before the latest jdk, that you delete 
the 3 JDK commands if present [ not try to compile with the commands that do not work, 
been there:-( ] , then add and select the new JDK commands. "First make sure you 
installed the JDK using its setup program as it writes important information to the 
registry that TextPad needs to locate Javac.exe. If you copied the JDK from another 
machine it will not work correctly with TextPad.

Texpad is now ready to compile and run java. 

If using DOS, use something like:
C:\jdk1.3.1_05\bin>javac Myfirst.java
C:\jdk1.3.1_05\bin>java Myfirst

Above might save someone the bother I had of rooting around to get textpad to work for 
java. 

As I`m at it, for your Christmas sock, Chris Wright, "Teach Yourself Java", for simple 
intro to java. To get the head around CFC`s, objects, etc, "Beginning Java Objects 
From Concepts to Code", Jacquie Barker, 2000.
