New To Command Prompt

Hi.

I've been using NetBeans for as long as I can remember, so I've never really need to do the whole javac filename.java in the command prompt. Well, now I'm trying to do an applet, and nothing I do works.

1.) I compiled WelcomeApplet.java using NetBeans, so I have a WelcomeApplet.class. I put that into an HTML file (WelcomeApplet.html), but it doesn't work: The applet doesn't run.

2.) I try to use appletviewer like my book suggests, but it doesn't work either: I sent the PATH variable to the right folder, but it still doesn't work.

Help?
