This is the path to my file: C:\Users\Robogeek\Documents\University Stuff\Cosc\Cosc 1320\Java and the name of file is BabylonianRoot. Please tell how would I access the file from command prompt and then compile it. Please go step by step. Thanks.

Its kinda cheesey but my professor could tell me how to create the path. :-) Some professor huh.

It seems there is some command to access a file. When I tab to a folder and pressn ENtER, I get this error "Documents" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Thanks.
