How to run script file Oracle XE?

Question

Hi there,
I'm new here. I've just started on a tutorial (i.e. ADF) and it requires me to run a script, i.e.
SQLPLUS>Start <tutorial_install>\scripts\build.sql
How do I run this in Oracle XE?
The content of the build.sql is included below.
The build.sql also calls other sql scripts in the same directory.
I can't seem to get this to run in the SQL command prompt in Oracle XE. Can you please help?
Thanks,
Will
build.sql contains the following...
REM Main build Script for the SRDemo schema, objects and demo data
REM To be run from SQL*Plus conected as a DBA

REM classroom setup where only one shared server is available

How do I run this in Oracle XE?You must start SQL*Plus (SQL Command Line) and there execute the script.
For more info about using SQL*Plus take a look here:
