Just to note.
I have been out of the game for about 2.5 mo
& this is my first day back.

I am using TextPad.
The program Compiles just fine.
When I try to Run the program Leap
I get a Dos Screen, with
"Press any key to Continue . . . "
but when I try to type in the year #
the Dos window goes away.
I looked in the file wher the Class &
Java files are & it is still there But
I seem to be unable to enter data on
the command line.
Any help or sugestions no matter how
farfetched will be discounted.
Thanks in advance again for all your help

Welcome back
I suggest you go to the dos prompt and run you program from there.
start > programs > ms dos prompt
cd c:\java
java Leap 1999
of course the above assumes that c:\java is the directory you use as your work directory.
Good luck

First let me say that I prefer to run my programs the way Johannes has described.

However, in TextPad you can configure the tools to accept commandline parameters by going to
Configure
Preferences
Tools (click on the +)
In the Parameters box, enter "$BaseName" (without the quote marks) if it is not there already.
In the Initial folder box, enter "$FileDir" (again without the quote marks) if it is not there already.
Verify that there are checkmarks in "Prompt for parameters" as well as "Capture output".
