compile multiple class files

I'm trying to compile my class files. I have two classes. when I compile them i get the following error:
c:\java\test\src>javac MyTest.java
MyTest.java:6: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : variable Test
location : class MyTest
String t = Test.gethelp();
^
1 error
Here is my code:
public class Test
{
public String gethelp()
{
String test = "time";
return test;
}
}
public class MyTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String t = Test.gethelp();
System.out.println("THe word is " + t);
}
}

That's odd. The javac compiler should look for such class dependencies automatically. Since it isn't, you should simply compile Test.java first, then compile MyTest.java. You can even do this all with one command:
javac Test.java MyTest.java

getHelp is not a static method of Test so you can't execute it the way you are trying to.
Do this:
Test test = new Test();
String t = test.getHelp();
