DESCRIPTION:

I am new to programming and new to windows 98 but what I'm trying to do is simply this: create a java program in notepad, for instance and use the javac to compile in dos.

with win 98 I discovered you can only operate in one or the other: windows or dos. you can't toggle back and forth from notepad to the dos prompt. how can I get around this? I don't want to have to restart everytime I compile a program I write.

Please advise.

Thanks

Hi Rachel,

Welcome to No Wonder!

Try this, go to start, select run, type in command, and click OK.
Also, do a search for a file called command.pif in your windows directory.

Let me know what happens, you can contact me directly on bradh@nowonder.com

Look forward to hearing from you, and thanks for using No Wonder!
