Ah, rookie mistakes!

So I changed it per your instructions:
java CommandServerJDQ -cp "C:\Downloads\AS400\IBM Java\lib\jt400.jar"
... and now get:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
com/ibm/as400/access/ObjectDoesNotExistException

Following your other suggestion, I included the path where the .class file
exists, but am getting the same error as above. I suspect it is a problem
with the way I am specifying the paths; both paths have blanks embedded in
certain folder names, hence the use of double quotes. If the two paths were,
for example, "C:\A A" and "C:\B B", how should the -cp be specified?

TIA, Dan
