My java is in /usr/local/java javac is in /usr/local/java/bin.  CLASSPATH 
is set to /usr/local/java.  OK, I can compile *.java files *if* I do this 
from /usr/local/java:

bin/java ~/somewhere/*.java

But if I do this

/usr/local/java/bin/java *.java it fails with that wretched 

dirname: too many arguments
etc...

Also, I can't get the interpreter to work.  bin/java Clock.java just fails 
with invalid class name.  When I look at the shell script which *is* 
java, it seems to have JAVA_HOME and J_HOME defined...  Can I just ditch 
that and run javah?  Maybe some kind soul could post a shell script which 
sets all the variables necessary to compile and run programs from 
anywhere on my system?  I'm getting sick of making dummy html 
files just so I can see my program.

Just how do you make an application anyway (rather than an applet)?  
Sorry, these questions seem so trivial but I don't see them addressed in 
the HOWTO nor the FAQ.  The HOWTO tells you to run it with bin/java! 

Thanks!
