There's a simpler way: Open Synaptic (I believe it's installed by default with Debian), go to "Settings" -> "Repositories". Go through each of the lines, and in the "Sections" input box at the bottom add the string "non-free" (sans the quotes, with a space as delimiter) if it's not already there. Click OK, and return to the main window.
Back in the main window, click on "Reload" and wait. When it's finished, click on "Search" and search for "sun-java6-jre". Right-click on the package, select "Mark for installation", click apply, and wait (again).
The big advantage of Linux systems vs. Windows is the centrally available management of all software for the system, including security updates and the likes. Usually there's no need to manually download something.

* Shift+j : move the region down
* Shift+k : move the region up
* Shift+l : move the region right
* Semicolon: move the cursor to the center of the selected region
* Spacebar : move the cursor and left-click
* Escape : cancel the move
CONFIGURATION
You can configure your own key setting. There is an example in /usr/share/doc/keynav/keynavrc. Copy it to $HOME/.keynavrc and edit it as
you like.
