Hello World >:(

Oh sorry. Well, I type up it up it notepad, then save it. But I might be saving it somewhere wrong. I open up Command Prompt and try to type in cd C:\java but it doesnt come up(most of the time) but when it does I type dir then the directory opens and my file is in it, but then when I type javac HelloWorldApp.java this error comes up

'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I did what the error helper said to do when that error came up but it still isn't working. I'd thought I would ask you people because you have MUCH more experiance than me.

Thanks

No, I don't think so. If you'd followed those instructions exactly, I believe it would have worked.

Do this:

Type echo %PATH%

at the command prompt.

If you had set up the PATH env var as per the instructions, you'd see something like C:\jdk_1.5.0_something\bin in there.

One thing you must do--and I'm not sure if it's mentioned there--is close the command prompt and open a new one after modifying PATH.

Again, you need to tell us exactly what you did and exactly what "doesn't work" means.

As far as I know, the instructions there are correct.
