Try including the directory where jython-20.class is located on the
classpath. If jython-20.class is located in the current working dir
then:

   java -cp . jython-20

The exact command line is hard to predict because it depends on the JVM
brand, version and whether the CLASSPATH enviroment variable is assigned
already.

All the this is only needed if you are running on a IVM with severely
broken or limited class loading. Javasoft's and IBM's JVM both work fine
in this respect so don't begin on the workaround just yet.
