Hi. I'm new to Java programming. I'm taking a class and trying to get Java downloaded onto my computer. I installed the JDK 6 Update 5 with NetBeans 6.0.1 version. When I try to run the the following command for a program that has a .png file and .java file it only, I receive the error listed in the subject line above:

javac Welcome.java.

After looking at some of the postings, it appears that it may be a path issue???? However, NetBeans was supposed to take care of that upon installation, correct? I'm lost and could really use some help fast.
