Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm grasping at straws. How do you run Java from a terminal under RedHat Linux 5.1. I just downloaded a 3270 terminal emulator that is a bunch of class files and I'm guessing that what I've got to do is kick it off by running the main one under a terminal.

Well, let blind lead the blind... I don't know anything about Java, but I think that if it's just a bunch of classes, it will not work. An application needs "public static void main" in the top class. But in any case, "a bunch of class files" sounds pretty hopeless. Not even a jar? Someone was really lazy, and the thing most likely never worked to begin with.

P.S. Why don't you just use x3270?
First, make sure you have the Extras channel and run:
yum install java-1.5.0-sun-devel
(You can leave off -devel if you just want a JRE.) Then, type
java -version
And it should work.
