Thanks, Brian. I think, I can set up all real mode stuff this way 
on my XP box, i.e. via autoexec.bat, if I'll buy XP.    
CP866 for DOS mode, keyboard for DOS mode etc, etc.
I'll try to copy my full autoexec.bat from Win95 and just copy
all packages - Watcom, DJGPP, heap of old DOS programs I like.
