Careful reading of the Sun java documantation has significantly improved<br>
my outlook. The relevant passages are:<br>
<br>
Paths to the .jar, .zip or .class files. Each path should end with
a filename or<br>
directory depending on what you are setting the class path to:
<ul type="Disc">
<li>For a .jar or .zip file that contains .class files, the
path ends with the name of the .zip or .jar file. </li>
<li>For .class files in an unnamed package, the path ends with
the directory that contains the .class files. </li>
<li>For .class files in a named package, the path ends with
the directory that contains the "root" package (the first package in the
full package name). </li>
</ul>
The whole page is located at:<br>

( My problem was that all of my paths were directory names. ) <br>

Thanks again to those who replied. I hope my synopsis of my carelessness<br>
assists others who might make the same mistake.<br>
