Mark,

I'm wondering if there is a "sourcepath" or "classpath" that I should
be using?   But if so what?

I get the system classes without specifying a path.   The code

public class HelloWorld {

   public static void main(String[] args)  {
      System.out.println("Hello, World!");
   }
}

Compiles and runs with only a classpath for the /JAVA/DEMO/HelloWorld
class.

:javac -verbose  /JAVA/DEMO/HelloWorld.java
