Windows program problem using Runtime.

Question

I have a program that works with the mouse click,
but does not work from a DOS command prompt.
It seems in Java the command exec works like DOS.
Anyway to overcome this?
Thanks.
boolean bWait = true;
try {
String cmd = System.getProperty("user.dir")+getString("Program");
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = r.exec(cmd);
BufferedInputStream bis =new BufferedInputStream(pr.getInputStream());
int c=0;
/** Outlet for IO for the process **/
while ((c = bis.read()) != -1) {
System.out.print((char)c); // do your processing
/** Now wait for the process to get finished **/
if(bWait == true) {
pr.waitFor();
pr.destroy();
} catch(Exception f) {
System.out.println("Could not execute process."+f+"\n");

Other than this.
C:\>cmd.exe /?
Starts a new instance of the Windows 2000 command interpreter
CMD [A | /U] [Q] [D] [E:ON | /E:OFF] [F:ON | /F:OFF] [V:ON | /V:OFF]
[[S] [C | /K] string]
/C Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates
/K Carries out the command specified by string but remains
/S Modifies the treatment of string after /C or /K (see below)
/Q Turns echo off
/D Disable execution of AutoRun commands from registry (see below)
/A Causes the output of internal commands to a pipe or file to be ANSI
/U Causes the output of internal commands to a pipe or file to be
Unicode
/T:fg Sets the foreground/background colors (see COLOR /? for more info)
/E:ON Enable command extensions (see below)
/E:OFF Disable command extensions (see below)
/F:ON Enable file and directory name completion characters (see below)
/F:OFF Disable file and directory name completion characters (see below)
/V:ON Enable delayed environment variable expansion using c as the
delimiter. For example, /V:ON would allow !var! to expand the
variable var at execution time. The var syntax expands variables
at input time, which is quite a different thing when inside of a FOR
loop.
