Can someone please help me make my could into 2-3 multiple java files? I really don't know how to break it up and I am afraid if I do, I'll mess it up and have to start all over again. So if any could please help me it would be greatly appreciated.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.Vector;

If you back up your work before experimenting you can always revert to a version that worked and start from there...

At the very least get rid of that hardcoded dictionary in your main class, and separate the business logic from the user interface.
