What Editor/Compiler are you using with your code?

[Norm]

The javac program works with java source files (have extension of .java).
What is the src_mynewproject.txt file? If it is your source program, rename it to src_mynewproject.java

Try Eclipse,its really simple to use,has a built in compiler so you don't have to mess with the cmd and setting it up is pretty straight forward. :] (google java eclipse

Or do what Norm said -_- XD :]

Eclipse hides a lot of details that you should know about before you use it.
I see lots of students that are lost when letting their IDE hide the details of what the javac and java commands do.
I'd suggest you stay with the commandline for a few programs until you understand about what the javac and java commands do and how they use the classpath and packages.

Extract SRC.zip
--look for a file called *.java (* indicates irrespective of the name of the file )
-- you dont find this file , rename the .txt to .java
-- then run "javac" command from command prompt
