7,912 PointsThe same thing happened to me. Try using the absolute path to the file as this worked for me ie.
:load /home/treehouse/workspace/PezDispenser.java
I obtained the path by running "ls" in the workspace directory to make sure that's where the file was and then "pwd" to get the full path to that directory. Like the following:
treehouse:~/workspace$ ls
Example.class Example.java PezDispenser.class PezDispenser.java
treehouse:~/workspace$ pwd
/home/treehouse/workspace
