About your keyboard errors...there is no readLine method. It is actually called nextLine.

Also fix all of these.

res.setfirstName(); // Need a neme between the ( and )
...
res.setmiddleName(); // Same.
..
res.setlastName(); // Same
...
res= new residentialPhoneListing(name); // There is no constructor with a sting 
//argument made yet. By default there is only blank ()'s avalable without creating 
// your own constructor
...

[pbl]

The Scanner class does not have a method called readString()
it has a readNext() and a readNextline() methods
that would fix a few

Sticking to java coding conventions will help you. Note the captialization and constructor parameters especially in the following. Class names being upper case

public class SomeClass {
	private String firstName;

	public SomeClass(String firstName) {
		  this.firstName = firstName;
	}

	public String getFirstName() {
		  return this.firstName;
	}

	public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
		   this.firstName = firstName;
	}
}
