Hi Lew, 
Thanks for responding. I looked at Jeff's 
help. I have a problem with Oracle's 
directions. The directions from them give me a case 
of the jitters resetting things that I was 
not responsible for initially in the setup:
(administrator).

< http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/paths.html > 
 I find there:
 "C:\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin\javac MyClass.java" 
This I understand! 
I  also find there for"Windows 7", 
which I have : 
1.From the desktop, right click the Computer icon.
2.Choose Properties from the context menu.
3.Click the Advanced system settings link.
4.Click Environment Variables. In the section System Variables, find the PATH environment variable and select it. Click Edit. If the PATH environment variable does not exist, click New.
5.In the Edit System Variable (or New System Variable) window, specify the value of the PATH environment variable. Click OK. Close all remaining windows by clicking OK.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: You may see a PATH environment variable similar to the following when editing it from the Control Panel: 
%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem
Variables enclosed in percentage signs (%) are existing environment variables. If one of these variables is listed in the Environment Variables window from the Control Panel (such as JAVA_HOME), then you can edit its value. If it does not appear, then it is a special environment variable that the operating system has defined. For example, SystemRoot is the location of the Microsoft Windows system folder. To obtain the value of a environment variable, enter the following at a command prompt. (This example obtains the value of the SystemRoot environment variable): 
echo %SystemRoot%"

Lew, 
there is the information from Roedy,
and the following post from Arne:

"2 bad + 2 good advices" 
Arne 

My response to that is :
What am I supposed to think and do with that information?

Lew,
You wrote: 
 "NO! No, no, no
 Put it anywhere you want and include the JAR in the classpath.

My response to that is :
I tried all combinations of "poi-bin-3.8-20120326 jars" 
where and what to put there. 

I am frustrated: I need a cookie 
sized tranquilizer. 

Buen día y gracias. 
 
bH
