     For javac (et al.), make sure your PATH includes

	C:\Program Files\Java\jdkxxxx\bin

where "xxxx" is the folder corresponding to the JDK version.  (If you've
installed to an unusual location you may need something other than "C:",
and if you're using a 32-bit version -- does 12 still support 32-bit? --
you'll need "Program Files (x86)".

     The kit ordinarily takes care of getting java itself onto your
path -- but maybe it only does so if you enabled "Public JRE" during
the installation.  If you need to set it up manually (using the JRE's
internal Java), add

	C:\Program Files\Java\jdkxxxx\jre\bin

to the PATH (same adjustments as before).

     Good luck!
