Hi. I am using JDK 1.3.1 and am trying to figure out how to run a Java application with certain arguments. I would like to run my applications with certain data but can't seem to get it to work. I know if I were tryping the commands in DOS I would just include the data in quotes. How do I do it in TextPad? Thanks in advance. I am sure it is something simple that I just can't see.

In order to pass parameters to your run time, go to configure on the menu bar, then select Preferences from the dropdown, then expand the tools entry click on the run java application and check the checkbox for prompt for parameters. Then apply. Then go back to menu bar tools and select run java application, you should be rompted for parameter leave the $BaseName then a space and your parameters.
