Thanks for the extremely rapid response (and please excuse my extremely
slow "thankyou"). The problem was indeed an anomalous "package demos;"
statement at the top of the program. This must have been a vestigial
piece of code left over from the authors' package tree. Commenting out
this statement fixed the code and it now runs perfectly using:
"java bounce"
as it should. I now have an excellent java development environment in
which to design my project. Thanks to Sun and the FreeBSD team for such
a wonderful set of tools!!!
