Hi, I overcame some of my "just starting" problems by opening an old Win 2000 laptop because it is compatible with my text and SDK 1.3.

I wrote this for "Hello World", it compiles but returns two statements, one in quotes and one without quotes. i have decided not to troubleshoot it just yet, but to post this code.

public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] arguments){
String line1 = "HelloWorld";
String quote = line1;
System.out.println('\u0022' + quote + '\u0022');
System.out.println("Hello world");
}
}

Neon Blue, your code is acting correctly...
The '\u0022' is a quote, so the line
System.out.println('\u0022' + quote + '\u0022');
should output
"HelloWorld"
Then right after that you tell it to output another line...
System.out.println("Hello world");

My guess is that some of this is code form the book you're using and some is code you put in - all cool, it's doing what it's supposed to.

SpecBailey, I'm not certain - all should go well if you're in the bin directory. It's a long shot, but check the bin directory and make certain that java.exe exists in the directory. If not you will need to reinstall - or check your path to find out which java.exe is actually running and move things to that bin directory (though for an app this simple I'm skeptical that the majority of version differences would hamper you).
