New to Java-want to add outputs rto PrChes.exe program. I started programming about 1965 on an IBM 1620 using FOR II, then IBM 1130, Then GE TS Basic in 1968 (interpreter), then PL/1 on 370/168 SAS, FOR V, IMS, Interpretive REXX. I don't understand classes, bindings.

I have the listing for PrChess but it stops without messages when program ends. I would like to add comments to the screen when the program ends and possibly add a Chess movement log for study.

Uh... the program is an EXE file... was it written in Java?

If yes, I guess you have the source code and want to add comments?

System.out.println("My message to console window"); // output to console = My message to console window

Commenting source code is done like this:

//this is a single-line comment

/**
 * this is a 
 * multi-line
 * comment
 */

If the program is crashing it should print some error message to the console window if it was written in java and you run it with the commandline argument

java -jar myApp.jar

or:

java myClass

If you don't understand classes or object orientated programming you should start with the basic java tutorials:

those are some really old stuff there which i have never ever heard of.

anyway, try these old posts from my blog.

Did you intend to reference a site I could look at? There was no reference to a URL I could access. What blog? Where?

PrChes.exe isn't a java application.

I don't understand classes, bindings.

Class (computer programming) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thats a link to Class on wiki - classes are constructs of object oriented programming, on which java is based. I don't however know what you mean by 'bindings'... I've not heard that term used in the context of java other than for networking.

What do you mean by 'listing'? The program will not print anything unless it was designed to print something. Can you post your source code here so we can see it? Adding logging to a program is trivial once we can see your program.
