Look for the command prompt window under Start/All Programs/Accessories/ — the same location as for Notepad. Above is what it looks like when both Notepad and DOS are running.
Notepad and DOS each run in their own window. This is the bare minimum setup that these Java notes assume.
The command prompt window starts up in some default subdirectory. (Exactly which directory depends on your system.) When you type a command into the command prompt window it will automatically apply to only the files in the default directory. For example, if you type javac MyProg.java the system will expect MyProg.java to be in that directory.
Is the directory that DOS starts up in the one you want?
