looping through System.getProperties()?

Hello,
Could anyone help me complete my first jsp tutorial.
I must admit, I am very new to JSP, although I have a reasonable
understanding of Actionscript, PHP, HTML, CFML and a bit of Objective-
C (so jsp seemed like a natural progression).

I'm trying to follow a tutorial found at http://www.jsptut.com/
Mixing.jsp

So far I have worked through each tut without to many problems, until
I hit the exercise at the bottom of the above page.

The exercise asks me to "Write a JSP to output all the values
returned by System.getProperties with "<BR>" embedded after each
property name and value. Do not output the "<BR>" using the "out"
variable."

I have no problems printing the values returned by the
System.getProperties() call, but the exercise seems to ask me to loop
through the result, embedding a <br> after each item!?.

I take it I must somehow convert the result to an array that I can
then loop through, adding the <br> after each cycle!?.

I have tried converting the result using; String myArray[] = <%=
System.getProperties()%> but to no avail.

can anyone tell me if I'm understanding the exercise correctly and if
so, maybe point my in the right
direction as I'm running out of hair to pull out!!?

many thanks in advance.

josh.

P.S sorry if my terminology isn't 100%. i plead ignorance!
