You really shouldn't use notepad but a decent text editor that can show you the correct syntax highlighting. Anything like Notepad++, Sublime Text, Brackets etc. And then the file should be saved in the proper format, .java in this case, instead of .txt.

I thought I saw Ben use some technique...

Notepad++ it is for now!

Thanks!
