Bill:

First:  You need the items on the CLASSPATH, not the PATH for Java to
find them.
Second: Since you are on a PC, the separator is a semi-colon, not a
colon.  Colon is correct for the *nix world.
Third:  Using the jre is just like using java.exe to run your program. 
You don't specify the .class extension, just the fully qualified name of
the class you want to run.
Fourth:  The fully qualified name of your class is important.  With the
info you provide I would assume that the package name is test.  Your
command line would look more like:

jre -cp .\testjar.jar test.testpgm

It may be a little different if you are using JDK 1.1 and JFC, etc.  I
tend to recommend using the CLASSPATH variable instead of -cp
