Problem loading data from Intro to Postgis - Mailing list pgsql-novice

Dear List,

I just installed postgis and am trying to work through the Introduction to Postgis workhop at
http://2007.foss4g.org/workshops/W-04/PostGIS%20Workshop.doc#_Toc177458966

I have postgis and postgresql installed on a Dell Inspiron 5150 running Windows XP.  My problem is that I can't get any
datainto the database.  I have gotten to page 26-27, loading shapefiles.  I have run the pg_setenv.bat file at the
windowscommand prompt and it seems to have set up the path correctly.  I have looked in the postgresql bin directory
andthe proper commands are in the folder.  However, when I run the given shp2pgsql or psql commands I get an error that
thecommand "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." 

I would appreciate any help or suggestions you could give to gelp me past page 27!

Thanks,

Tim
