If  a  supervisor changes a user's password in Novell  3.12,  how 
does  Windows 95 get to know of the new password? This is  stored 
in  teh  .PWL  file isn't it? Even if one has set  Novell  to  be 
updated  from a Windows 95 change, how does Win 95 get to  expect 
the  new  password  after the supervisor has  chnaged  it  within 
Novell at SYSCON?

It doesn't. If the supervisor changes the Netware password via SYSCON,
when the user next attempts to log into the Netware server it will
fail unless the user enters the new password.
