Ok, I think I understand, but let me just make sure that I understand
before I do anything that I won't be able to undo.

I found Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > Environment Variables

When I get to that window, there are 3 buttons: New, Edit, and Delete. I'm
guessing I want to hit New, name it PATH, and put the directory as the
value? There's already a variable listed as Path (not all upper case like
"PATH" is) that points to somewhere else. Is that a problem?

Also, I am not sure which directory to pick on my c drive. Under C:\
Program Files\Java\ I have:

j2re1.4.2_05
j2re1.4.2_06
jdk1.5.0_01
jre1.5.0_01

Is one of these the one I need? If so, which one?

Thanks so much for the easy to understand advice!
