Classpath, dos finds java.exe but not javac.exe

Question

Hi all,
I have still been trying to have dos recognize the javac command. I have used many methods for updating the classpath and path in WinMe through the environment variable and in the autoexec.bat. I am using the J2SDK1.3.1_02. When I go to the proper directory and use the java command to run a .class file my simple "Hello" program runs fine. However, if I try to compile a new file ex. "Helloagain.java" using: javac Helloagain.java , I receive the "bad command or file name" message. This doesn't make sense because java.exe(which works), is in the same bin as javac.exe!
My complete autoexec.bat file in notepad reads as follows:
SET COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
SET windir=C:\WINDOWS
SET winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
SET PROMPT=$p$g
SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\MSSQL7\BINN;C:\J2SDK1.3.1_02\BIN
SET CLASSPATH=C:\PROGRA~1\CANONC~1\PHOTOD~1\ADOBEC~1;.;C:\J2SDK1.3.1_02\lib\tools.jar
I have struggled with this for several weeks. I have also checked numerous online resources. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Well, that's what is wrong! Change the
C:\J2SDK1.3.1_02\BIN to C:\JDK1.3.1\bin
Kamranyes, that is what was wrong. I should have used jdk1.3.1. I had tried that before but tried adding version #'s like 1.3.1_02.
The initial java kit I downloaded says j2sdk1.3.1_02 on the winzip file, yet it extracted to a folder called jdk1.3.1, which is the one I should have used in the first place .
Now that I have the dos prompt working , I will go and use ForteCE. lol. Thanks for you insight.
