The instructions on the Derby site say to download forrest (which I
did) in the following path:
C:\Authoring\Forrest\apache-forrest-0.7

The next step says to use the forrest seed command.
Nothing happens, the system doesn't recognize this command.

So I went to the Forrest site.
http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/your-project.html#installing
Their instructions are somewhat different. They mention setting an
environment variable for FORREST_HOME. On Windows, is this a user
variable or a system variable?  I tried adding it (to both) and
rebooted, but when I try
the command that they recommend (forrest -projecthelp) I get
a message indicating that the path/directory is too long (seems odd to me)
The exact message is:

  C:\Authoring\Forrest\apache-forrest-0.7\bin>forrest -projecthelp
  The input line is too long.
  The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

  Apache Forrest.  Run 'forrest -projecthelp' to list options

  The input line is too long.

Also the impression that I have from the Forrest site is that you
download forest to one path but you seed a different path

Any help on getting this working will be appreciated...
