So...I went and downloaded notepad++ (Download Notepad++ Here); while I was watching the status bar, I decided that Joyce Farrell lost me somewhere - though I ended up making my program run - I went back over my "Hello World" process, this time only using the Notepad and it would not compile from the command prompt box...
So then I started to retrace my installation process....
I ended up on YouTube; which always seems to happen whenever I am doing homework or doing something equally tedious on the computer. I can't tell you how I end up there. I think my computer is automatically trained so that whenever I am bored or on the verge of boredom, the computer somehow senses it and automatically opens up a window with YouTube loaded. Though, quite inconceivable - I am sure that is how it happens.
Anyways, while I was there (after watching a couple of hilarious SNL clips), I found a tutorial - Installing JDK by thenewboston - which goes over the installation process. I found that Bucky's way works out better for me than the way the book describes.
I went to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html (I didn't download the program because I already did but I just wanted to check that I did indeed download the standard platform and not any of the other ones). Anyways, I followed his tutorial and now javac works as it should via command prompt.
