Actually, you should not need to use the QShell at all (I presume you're
using QSH CMD('java ...') eh?) 

You should be able to invoke the JAVA command with all the right
parameters...  If you post your QShell command line, I can help you
transliterate.  (The only trick, really, is the specification of the
properties, and that's not all that bad.  The QShell: 
        java -Dsome.option=a.value -Dos400.class.path.rawt=1
-DRmtAwtServer=megabox myClass  
would become 
        JAVA PROP(('some.option' 'a.value') ('os400.class.path.rawt' '1')
('RmtAwtServer' 'megaBox')) CLASS('myClass') 
)

Well, I was all set to point you to the '-DendBox=no' property for
1.1.x, which is supposed to prevent the end box from showing up, but it
does not currently work there.  While it might be fixable, the 1.1.x
RAWT is very difficult to maintain.  I'll see what I can do. 

If you can run your code under the 1.2 (aka 1.2.2) JVM (you just specify
-Djava.version=1.2 on the AS/400 side, in addition to the
-DRmtAwtServer=whatever and -Dos400.class.path.rawt=1 properties) then
you can specify '-DendBox=no' on the GUI side when you start up the
daemon with the 'java -jar <path>\RAWTGui.jar' command.  That will
prevent the end box from showing up, as you wish.  (You can also specify
-DendBox=fail to only have it show up if the RAWT fails somehow.)

I think that if you run from the JAVA command, as per point 1 above,
this question becomes moot. 

HTH!  Again, I've just taken over responsibility for the RAWT very
recently, so it's all kind of new and exciting.  (Can you spot the
euphemisms? ;-)
