New to Java

Hello,

This is what I have and I was able to compile it. However, when I tried to run the program, it only gave me the welcome message.
It did not even prompt me to press enter to proceed to the next step...

I don't know what I am missing.. I need somebody's help!

Thanks you so much in advance!
