This is a stupid question, I'm sure, but what is my "PATH environment variable" and how do I add an entry to it?
I've been playing in my little JAVA environment. Then I bought a book that said to compile and run my programs right from the command line.
Okay, I know what the command line is, and the book tells me what to type (Things like "% javac" and such, but the little DOS window doesn't know what I'm talking about. I don't even know where my PATH environment variable IS, let alone how to add an entry to it. The book has all this detailed information, it walks me through how to write a freakin' for loop like I have a brain tumor, but it just assumes I know how to do this PATH thing, so it must be something very simple... I tried google, but I'm still confused.
