Thanks!
I need to do some figuring out. I got this:
Compiling...
javac: invalid flag: -classpath C:\Program
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options
Compile Failed (2)
It may be that I've had so many versions of java installed in the last few years that my registry is all messed up. Who knows?

Lots of people are getting compiler errors with Jikes, which is deprecated now, but still used by many Robocoders. You can read about the problems (and solutions) at the Help forum here:

Bottom line is that students in my Lego Robotics class got into robocode. Unfortunately, my "core" dumped robocode after a term on "non-use". So it's going to take me a while to reload robocode and familiarize myself with it. Anyway...
