Extremely New Java Programmer - JavaC?

I have experience with C++, and just picked up a book to learn Java: "Java
2: Primer Plus" by Sams Publishing. It's having me compile HelloWorld.java
by typing "javac HelloWorld.java" at the command prompt (after having
installed the SDK and written HelloWorld.java) and I get a message saying
that " 'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file", presumably the long way of saying "Bad
command or file name." What am I missing here?

Sorry for being so newbie,
Tim

Understandably, $JAVA_HOME/bin is not in your PATH.
