'julia' is the name of the julia programming language;

"../bin/mkdfa.jl" tells Julia to go up one directory, then down into the bin directory to execute the "mkdfa.jl" script.  I assume you downloaded the script to the 'voxforge/bin' folder.

"sample" is the name of the prefix for your grammar files (i.e. your grammar files are "sample.grammar" and "sample.dfa").

You need to execute this command from the "Windows Command Prompt"

The Windows Command Prompt (also called the Windows terminal) is where you will execute all your HTK/Julius commands and scripts, and VoxForge scripts. 

Open your Command Prompt window by clicking:

Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt

then change directory to where you created you sample.grammar i.e. your 'voxforge/tutorial' folder, and run the julia script as shown above.
