I don't really understand the "step 3" of the tutorials on creating a simple database with id and e-mail.Please what I want to know is how can I create the database.I don't know how to use the DOS.Where exactly can I download the code for creating the database and integrating it with the other pages.
Please I am sorry for asking the naive question but I seriously do need help.

But i can check my emial from the computer downstairs.....Thanks alot.

Both jvc and javareg commands are part of Microsoft Java SDK. Latest verion of this SDK is 4.0 ( as of May 14th 2003 ). You'll have to download the SDK from Microsoft's web site.

Then after installing the SDK on your system try the above commands again, if it again tells you that they are unrecognized commands then it simply means that jvc.exe and javareg.exe programs are not in your PATH environment variable. Just find the location of the *exact* folder where you installed SDK and which contains jvc.exe and javareg.exe and add that folder path to your PATH variable using Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables. This way command prompt can find those programs for you when you type their names.

After that close and reopen command prompt window and this time you should be able to use those commands.
