Hello World

Here are the steps to creating my HelloWorld.
I have run setenv in the previous set(previous blog)
If your are starting with a fresh command prompt, run it using the previous blog entry as reference.

1. Create a directory HelloWorld under C:\Lejos\Project
2. Create a file HelloWorld.java with the following lines. This program can also be found in

      import josx.platform.rcx.*;

        /**
         * @author calvinedu">Ryan VanderBijl
         */

        /* This class uses char[] to display text on the LCD.
         * Strings aren't really supported by TinyVM. :-(
         *
         * This program, after d/ling, waits for you to press the RUN
         * button, and then displays "hello", for a small delay, and then
         * displays "world". (Then a small delay, and then it returns to
         * the TinyVM OS).
         */

        public class HelloWorld
        {
          public static void main (String[] aArg)
          throws Exception
          {
             LCD.clear();
             TextLCD.print ("hello");
             Thread.sleep(2000);
             TextLCD.print ("world");
             Thread.sleep(2000);
          }
        }
