Hi Jim! 1. I'm back to the question about the arguments. Why can't I run just 1 particular class if this class contains ...main... entry point? The tutorial from Sun I'm using doesn't refer to IDE, just to the command line in DOS prompt. Where can I find the command line in Eclipse? 2. How to change the default behaviour so I can do a syntax check for 1 particular class? 3. I've encountered the problem with JAWS in Eclipse. When reading by word (ctrl + arrow) and the word is a mixed case word, Jaws reads this word as many times as the parts in that word. For example: the word searchForLiteral is read 3 times, and each time the cursor is placed at the beginning of the next part of the word. Are you aware of this problem? 4. How do you navigate between the Help panes in your current Eclipse version?

How to work with Eclipse help? I could not navigate between the search tab and the tab where the topics are. I'll need to down load your particular version at home and then get back to you. Is there an easy way? 2. I have a simple Java program that accepts numeric arguments and add them together. Where is a place in Eclipse to enter arguments when running the program? Technically you are not running the program so passing args really won't work for the mean time.... In your class you could create static variables and assign them values as testing parameters. Once you have fully compiled and wrapped your project into a jar file, you can run it from a command prompt and pass the args that way. 3. When doing Alt+S for a a sintax check I get errors not only in the program that is currently open, but for all other programs under the current package. Is it how it's supposed to be? First of all you need to stop thinking of "programs" and refer to them as classess. Yes, this is the default behavior of this IDE. 4. Is there a command to do a syntax check for just the current line? Nope.... 5. What are the most useful keystrokes for editing a Java class, so far I've only found ctrl+I. I suppose that if you asked one hundred people they would have one hundred different answeres to this question.... What works for me may not work for others so I suggest that you use the Help\Key Assist option and scrol the contents. Note: alt dash + c will close that particular screen. Thank you very much, Anna
