The script is fine. You must specify the path when compiling the file.
For example:

javac c:\java\HelloWorld.java

You can also change from the default home directory to your development directory.


cd c:\java\development\
javac HelloWorld.java
java HelloWorld


So long as "javac" and "java" are both in your environmental variables, and C:\java\development\ is the location of your .java (and compiled class) file. That may make it easier for you so you don't have to type out the path each time, though I'd suggest looking into getting an IDE. Working in DOS/Notepad works, and that's about it. :p
