This means the JVM can't find the "HelloWorld" class; either it's
not in the directory you're trying to run it from or it's misnamed;
the file name and the class name *including case* must match.

HelloWorld.class must contain the matching "class HelloWorld { ...",
and "helloworld.class" -- even under DOS -- is *not* the same!

HTH!
