    The problem is the way you're specifying your classpath. Try putting
    the path to your servlet.jar file in quotes:

    javac -classpath "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat
    4.1\common\lib\servlet.jar" DontPanic.java

    Also, be sure you don't have a space between the "-" and "classpath".

    You'll also need to modify your DontPanic class to extend the
    javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet class.
