I am trying to understand how to self-sign an applet. I've already 
checked websites that provide directions, but unfortunately I realized 
that my relevant knowledge is too limited to start understanding what 
they are talking about, so I post here hoping I'll get some help to get 
me started.

 From what I've read so far I realized I needed JDK, so I've already 
installed it. (BTW, I also use Eclipse.)

Now, in

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lsiden/tutorials/signed-applet/signed-applet.html

under "How To Create a Signed Applet"

I believe I have completed step 1, as you can see in my webpage

https://files.nyu.edu/emf202/public/jv/nataltransits.html

So we come to step 2. It starts:

============
Create a public/private key pair. The command for this is

     keytool -genkey
============

My initial question is: Where do I enter this command?

Alternatively, and probably even better, is there a webpage I have 
missed that provides step by step instructions that an amateur java 
programmer with my level of ignorance can understand?

Thanks,

emf
