simple shell - how to get a parameter typed in a shell script

Hi,
I am new to unix and using linux 7.2. I would like to create a script that would make it easyer for me to run my java programms. At the moment I have to type java [path to my program]myJavaprogram

I am trying to write a script that will allow me to type something like this "myscript myJavaprogram" or maybe "myscript -myJavaprogram.
This is what I got so far

#!/bin/sh
# Print the current working directory.
java `pwd`
#end of runjava file

How do I read an argument that I would like to pass?
ie %runjava Test
And the command passed to the shell would be "java [directory]Test"


Thenk you

NAME
jsymphonic - File manager for Sony's MP3 players SYNOPSIS
jsymphonic DESCRIPTION
jsymphonic manages files stored on a Sony MP3 player plugged onto the computer. Important note: The MP3 player should be mounted first ! You might want to use pmount(1) to mount it without needing root privileges. The first time it is run, jsymphonic will ask you in which directory the MP3 player is mounted. This directory should not change, or you will need to configure it again. If jsymphonic complains that it cannot find the OMGAUDIO folder, it means that either the music player is not mounted, either the path of the player has not been set yet. If that is the case, set it using the JSymphonic/Properties menu item. JAVA-WRAPPERS NOTE This program is a shell script wrapper based on java-wrappers(7). You therefore benefit from several features; please see the java-wrap- pers(7) manual page for more information about them. SEE ALSO
pmount(1) and java-wrappers(7) AUTHOR
