First you'll need to determine what shell you are using.  You may need to contact your system administrator for assistance.

Assuming that you are using the Bourne Again Shell (bash), the .bash_profle that exists in your home directory will have some lines in it that look like :

    PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
                                                                               
    export PATH


After adding Java to your path, the lines would look like :

    PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
    PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_05/bin
                                                                              
    export PATH

Your path to the Java Binary directory may vary as will the format of your shell settings.  Please contact your system administrator if you need further assistance.
