    Default Problem with Output # of lines

    Hi all,

    I am having a problem with my code,
    It is supposed to display 10 lines of text when I run it, but at first it does that, then it goes and displays 20 lines at a time. I am at my wits end with this one.

    Can anybody help??
    Here is my code
    /*Write the program in Java (without a graphical user interface) and have it calculate the payment amount for 3 mortgage loans:
     
    - 7 year at 5.35%
    - 15 year at 5.5%
    - 30 year at 5.75%
     
    Use an array for the different loans. Display the mortgage payment amount for each loan and then list the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term of the loan. Use loops to prevent lists from scrolling off the screen.*/
    import java.text.*;
    import java.lang.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class Mortgage

    	public static void main(String[] args)

    		int i = 0;

    Thanks in advance.
