in the past i have been able to run dos commands thru C++... for example: system("cls") in C++ used to clear the screen... does anyone know if this can be done in java?
Well, since Java doesn't run on DOS but only on 32 bit operating systems you won't be able to execute DOS commands.
You can however (if you insist on loosing platform independence) execute Windows (or Unix) shell commands using the appropriate methods from the Runtime class.
As I in principle don't agree with doing this you'll have to figure out the rest on your own, there's tons of documentation about the pitfalls.

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.
