OK, Thanks to respondents, the answer is (for UK users anyway)

config.sys:
device=c:\windows\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
Country=044,437,c:\windows\COMMAND\country.sys

autoexec.bat:
mode con codepage prepare=((437) c:\windows\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
mode con codepage select=437
keyb uk,,c:\windows\COMMAND\keyboard.sys

Anyway, the above works, I haven't looked too deep into it!

The "return o" was a typo.
