Help with viewing Applet

[adamsives]

I'm new to programming and REALLY new to JAVA. I'm trying to get teh following to work and am not having too much luck...

I'm getting the instructions from a webpage Sams Teach Yourself Java 2 in 24 Hours

Steps I’m taking
1. I save the following code to a text file named “RootApplet.java”

import java.awt.*;

public class RootApplet extends javax.swing.JApplet {
int number;

public void init() {
number = 225;
}

public void paint(Graphics screen) {
Graphics2D screen2D = (Graphics2D) screen;
screen2D.drawString("The square root of " +
number +
" is " +
Math.sqrt(number), 5, 50);
}
}

2. open a command prompt and compile it with command javac RootApplet.java

3. open a new Word doc and paste the following code into it, save as an HTML

<applet code="RootApplet.class" height=100 width=300>
</applet>

4. open a command prompt and type “RootApplet.html” and the following displays.

<applet code="RootApplet.class" height=100 width=300>
</applet>

I was expecting to see was an HTML page with

"The square root of 225 is 15.0"

on it...

Can someone tell me what is wrong here?

FIXED!

To resolve, I copied the text

"<applet code="RootApplet.class" height=100 width=300>

</applet>"

on to a Notepad document and saved as "RootApplet.html" and it worked first go.
