The command line is not working!

When I was watching and following along with Craig's Pez Dispenser video he seemed to use the following command on the workspace's command line:

clear && javac Example.java && java Example

And as he expected it cleared and then compiled the file and finally ran Example.java

But for me, it cleared the command line and then it may have compiled and then finally displayed treehouse:~/workspace, how do I make it work like how Craig's worked?

Interesting...

Each of the 3 commands work fine on their own? i.e java Example runs as expected?

The project was saved and no empty java files?

Any difference in a different browser?
