How do I save a .java file in Notepad?
liann...@gmail.com
The file is HelloWorld.java (in the C: prompt)
Anyhow the book states "save the source code". Now I'm in Notepad and
the file is saved in Dos C: prompt as .java but if I save it in
Notepad it changes the file format to .txt.
How do I save it after creating the source code in Notepad?

I had no trouble doing it. When I put some code in Notepad and then
chose Save, the resulting dialog let me say where to put it and change
the "type" from txt files to "All Files" so that I could put a .java
extension on it.

Use double-quotes around the filename, ex. "HelloWorld.java"

You can use any text editor or ide.

Just do Save As SomeProg.java
If the fool thing is changing that to some thing else, rename it with
rename SomeProg.java.txt SomeProg.java
