I created a program called FirstProgram.java which references the class satvitchin (basically a program to receive data from the keyboard) it can be found here: lander.edu/jdileo/Fall03/CS180/downloads/SavitchIn.java
i have both satvitchin and firstprogram in the same directory, i compile satvichin with no problems then when i try to compile firstprogram i get this error:

C:\Documents and Settings\David Walton\Desktop\School\CS 180\FirstProgram.java:10: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : variable SavitchIn
location: class FirstProgram
answerLetter = SavitchIn.readLineNonwhiteChar();
^
C:\Documents and Settings\David Walton\Desktop\School\CS 180\FirstProgram.java:18: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : variable SavitchIn
location: class FirstProgram
junk = SavitchIn.readLine();
^
2 errors

Tool completed with exit code 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------
when i compile at school everything works fine this is the code for firstprogram:

public class FirstProgram
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Hello out there.");
System.out.println("Want to talk some more?");
System.out.println("Answer y for yes or n for no.");

char answerLetter;
answerLetter = SavitchIn.readLineNonwhiteChar();
if (answerLetter == 'y')
System.out.println("Nice weather we are having.");

System.out.println("Good-bye.");

System.out.println("Press Enter key to end program.");
String junk;
junk = SavitchIn.readLine();
}
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
is it something with the path?
java is looking in the wrong directory for the class file it needs?
thanks

Found the answer nevermind

/**Friend Try this */

import java.io.*;
public class FirstProgram
{
public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException
{
System.out.println("Hello out there.");
System.out.println("Want to talk some more?");
System.out.println("Answer y for yes or n for no.");

String answerLetter;
BufferedReader SavitchIn=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

answerLetter = SavitchIn.readLine();

if (answerLetter.equals("y"))
System.out.println("Nice weather we are having.");

System.out.println("Good-bye.");

System.out.println("Press Enter key to end program.");
String junk;
junk = SavitchIn.readLine();
}
}
