almost forgot, in order to use java from the command prompt (for .class files) you need to set the Path variable. Funny how you take these things for granted after a semester of Java.

OK here is how you set the Path variable in Windows.
1: Open My Computer
2: Open the folder "Crogram FilesJava"
3: Open your latest (highest version number) jre folder (mine is "jre1.5.0_04")
4: Open the bin folder
5: Highlight and copy (ctrl-c) the address of this folder (mine is "Crogram FilesJavajre1.5.0_04bin")
6: Open Control Panel (Start->Control Panel or Start->Settings->Control Panel)
7: Open the System icon (Performance and Maintenance->System if you are in category view)
8: Click on the Advanced Tab
9: Click on the Environment Variables Button
10: Under the "System Variables" double click on the "Path" Variable
11: Use the right arrow key to move to the end of the string in the "Variable Value:" field
12: Type a semicolon ';' then a space, then paste the bin folder address (For me it would be "; Crogram FilesJavajre1.5.0_04bin")
13: Click OK buttons till you get back to Control Panel (3 OKs).
14: Restart Command Prompt if you are currently running it
15: Now you can run java programs like this:
C:\FIRSTXMLdb Beta>java ScoutTeams 365 1495

And thats it, See you in Atlanta!
