Do you have specific questions?  If not, what kind of answer do you expect?

Allright, that's very tempting..
Tentative answers :

- Ah Good, glad to know that.

- check http://tomcat.apache.org, then come back if you have a question

- maybe ask Terracon ? They do a lot of advertising on this list.

- .. (long silence)

Have you looked at the doc pages at all?  Even a cursory look at the doc would have gotten you here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/setup.html

Yeah, I started here,
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/windows-service-howto.html, but
it just didn't make much sense. I've never used Tomcat, please forgive
me for my ignorance. I've been digging around and that's what lead me to
the list. Do I include the //? Thanks, I'll keep trying to figure it
out.

If you're just starting with Tomcat, use 6.0, not 5.5.  The simplest thing is just to download the .exe installer and run it - you're done.

Ok, that's better.  At least it shows you tried, which your original
posting was not very clear about.

Nutshell :
Starting at the main Tomcat page http://tomcat.apache.org, you get to
the download page.
There, you find 2 different versions for Windows :
- a "zip" version
- an "exe" version

They are a bit different :

- the easiest for a beginner is probably the "exe" version.  That one,
you just download and run.  It will ask some questions, and then it will
automatically (in most cases) install and start Tomcat as a Windows service.
You can then stop it and restart it using the same methods as you would
for other Windows services.

- the zip version contains all the same files as a Unix/Linux version
(and some additional files compared with the exe version).  To "install"
it, you just unzip this in a directory of your choice.
Then, you can immediately use it to run Tomcat in a command window, by
running the "startup.bat" script.
(As long as you already have a Java JRE 1.5 or higher installed on your
system, and a system environment variable JAVA_HOME pointing to that
Java JRE).
You can also install it as a windows service, by running the
"install.bat" script.

About the page at :
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/windows-service-howto.html

In my experience, that page is only understandable by qualified Tomcat
gurus black-belt 1st dan, after having played around with a Windows
Tomcat for a few weeks...
So, install the exe version, get your Tomcat running or not, and come
back if you have any questions.
