I'm not sure if you can do that, directly. When you shut down, there
is a menu that allows you to reboot to DOS (although it is not REALLY
DOS, it is close enough for most purposes). but, I think if you power
down, it will reboot into Win95. Now, there is a way to make a 'DOS'
boot floppy that is the same version of DOS as the 'reboot to DOS'
version, and if you put this floppy in the drive, it should boot to DOS
from power on.
