Set path,set classpath?

Question

Hi,I'm following something on the internet.It's says that I have to set a path and a classpath but I don't know what that actually means.It's telling me to do this

set path=c:\jdk1.3\bin\;%path%

set classpath=.;c:\jspservlets;c:\tomcat\lib...

Do I go on Command Promt? Please explain.

Thanks

You're absolutely correct.  Open a command prompt and type these statements in.  

You're changing the settings for the path environment variable by putting your java library in front of all the other libs, and you're creating another environment variable called classpath that looks like it has the tomcat java servlets and library.

Setting the variables this way does not make them permanent.
