In my AP computer science class we use textpad to write our java programs. However when I try to run a program it just closes immediately and I can't see the program's output. I've never had any problems with textpad before, I was wondering if there is any way to fix this.

As a blanket statement, TextPad is just a text editor. Depending on how it calls the JVM, you would look at Configure > Preferences > Tools and then whatever it is for "Run Java program" Perhaps checking "Capture output" or unchecking "Close DOS window on exit" will give you the desired behaviour
