Thank you! I eventually figured out how to use the standard Windows XP tools
to do this. The exercise also clued me in on a number of related things. 
Apparently
the "set" command is roughly equivalent to "set" in Linux.

I finally found out that APPENDING the /bin/folder to the PATH worked.

There is no "<Windows><break> key" on my keyboard. I suppose that's a bit odd,
given that the keyboard is labeled "Microsoft" and is roughly six years old.
Any suggestions as to how I might access this function?

I have no clue what you're talking about here. Remember that I'm a newbie as
to Gnu Windows stuff, but I have plenty of experience as a simple user of 
Unix/Linux
stuff going back some 30 years (almost always as a user; rarely as a 
programmer).
I'm not trying to compile stuff at this point; only trying to install various
GNU programs.
