First I am glad that more knowledgable people like Michael and Sridhar have
come forward to help too.
Marcia,
I am sorry to learn that Java still isn't working.

you have to run the commands:
which java
java -version
from your home user, not root (why? I don't know).
Compare what I get:
[root@localhost anguo]# java -version
bash: java: command not found
[anguo@localhost anguo]$ java -version
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.3.0-FCS)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.3.0-FCS, mixed mode)

One thing you didn't mention is: did you uninstall your old version of Java
as Sridhar suggested?
It would help if you could keep a log of everything you're doing so that we
(well, "they", the more advanced people) have a clue of what's going on.
To make sure, did you:
1- uninstall the old java
2- make sure the new is properly installed.
(question to my 'linux-elders': how would one make sure that something is
properly installed? )
3- set path according to one or the other method given (which one did you
do?)
4- how is you konqueror browser set? (maybe an improper setting may conflict
with the java path given.
5- make sure also to keep all the details in your latest email. At most two
or three people have been paying attention to this thread since the
beginning. This way others may jump in and provide you with the key to
solving your problem.

Are you sure your system was running the jre1.3.1 version and not 1.0.6 Java
Version 1.1 you mentionned before?

your Konqueror seems to be set to use netscape's plugins. Maybe it shouldn't
(it doesn't on my box). Let it grab java directly where it is....

You're welcome.
I am not sure I am helping much, but I'm trying hard to ask the questions
that will help others to figure out what the problem really is.
Remember that I am a three weeks old linux user. I just happened to have
installed java by myself last week.
I got some help when I needed some. It's my pleasure to try to provide help
too, as and when I can. That's the linux community aspect that I like the
most!
