error, can't find class java4cpp/basic/FirstProgram

I've installed JDK1.1.5 on my windows 2000 professional system and
when I give it the command ( in a command prompt window) to compile,
it does, but when I try to run the program I get this message:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\java4cpp\basic>java java4cpp.basic.FirstProgram
Can't find class java4cpp/basic/FirstProgram
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The book suggested that I set the classpath, so I tried that with this
command: "set classpath=%classpath%;C:\java4cpp\bin" , which is the
directory on my harddrive that the files are installed to.
The program name is called FirstProgram.java and the
FirstProgram.class are both in the same directory
any help would be appreciated, this is all new to me.
Please forgive my lack of knowledge in the art of java programming.
This is my first encounter.

Thanks in advance, Mark.
