My advice would be to leave autoexec.bat alone on Windows ME.  Instead, 
create a batch file with these lines, and then modify the properties of 
the DOS box to run this command line:

	command.com /e:2000 /k c:\djgpp\mydjgpp.bat

where c:\djgpp\mydjgpp.bat is the batch file where you put those two 
lines.  Then close the DOS box, open it again, and you should be able to 
use DJGPP from that DOS box.
