Hi Sue

This is explained in our help files.

1. Select the Help menu in TextPad.
2. Select Help Topics.
3. Select the index tab.
4. Type JDK as the keyword click the Display button.
5. Select "How to Use with the Java Development Kit".

If you need more help please send an email to support@textpad.com

Sue, after you do what is described on the help page Heidi told you to look at, the commands should be there (unless you leave the Preferences dialog via Cancel).

I just tried it with my textpad and it worked.
