> public class Confuci extends Applet

> public void paint (Graphics page)
> {
> page.drawString ("Forget injuries, never forget kindness.",50,50);
> page.drawString ("-- Confucius.",70,70);

> I tried to work the above Applet program without the IE or

> C:>javac Confuci.java

> The next line is:
> C:>jview /a Confuci

> At this point I expected the dos-prompt,in which I work, to compile(which it does) and open an application window and run the
> applet. - It doesn't! Instead, without exibiting any errors, it goes to the c-prompt:
> C:>

> I want to run this applet and see the drawString method in
