Hi,
I would like to know what would this settings do.

I wonder if you could help - I'm having trouble with the tools setting. Tools - is not available in the Comfigure\Preferences dialog box. how can I add it there so that I can add the JDK package.

Tnk for your input.

[Alex Angelopoulos]

No clue, Nelson. It's there in my TextPad version. I'm not sure about the JDK stuff anyway since I don't use Java...

Nelson,

make sure that you install JDK properly (ensure that all environment variables are set appropriately as per the installation instructions from Sun's site) before you install TextPad. This way TextPad will automatically configure for Java.

it should work.

good luck
