Thanks Ian, I added the line and rebooted but still stopped at the Dos
prompt.

Thanks also to Neil Rothwell I checked the MSDOS.sys and it seemed OK.
In fact I had played with it before trying all possible combinations but
no luck.

Thanks again to Chris Kennington, I took your advise and added
C:\windows\Win and it did work. 
Never-the less I do believe that there is still something else which
causes the problem. 
The only error message that I observe is one which states that it is
'unable to locate Win386.exe and either check the path or re-install
windows' which I did without any change.
I have not worried about it because I did not think that win95 needed
it.
Thanks for all the help for it is a great learning exercise.
Clem.
