7,598 PointsOne more thing that has tripped me up here (I'm using VS Code to do the exercises, so more likely to be a problem). If you're not in the directory that the files are in when you start jshell, it can't find them. Be sure you verify with 'ls' before starting jshell

1,544 PointsYes, get back operation not found. I see in the questions from 12-17 another user experienced inconsistencies accessing jshell. His question went unanswered. How would this affect moving forward with the techdegree for Java Script?

You could ignore jshell entirely and compile and run your Java code without using it. If being unable to import files is the only issue that you are having with jshell, you could try copying and pasting the code from your files directly into jshell.
