Pull down the Start menu, choose Run, and type
notepad c:\autoexec.bat

Assuming you installed it to c:\djgpp\
paste these two lines at the end of the file:

set DJGPP=c:\DJGPP\DJGPP.env
set path=c:\DJGPP\bin;%path%

This will make sure that the DJGPP environment variable
is defined as soon as you restart your computer.
