LOL! It's not your day. 
Anyway, you need to set the "path" environment variable. If a command can't be found in the current directory then the path is searched. This is just a list of directories separated with semi-colons. Each is checked in turn and, if at the end no exe is found, you get the "oi, no!" error message.
Drop to the MSDOS command box and type "path". This should give you a big list of things in the current path.
If you're using Windows 95, 98 or ME then you can load up the c:\autoexec.bat file in notepad. If it doesn't exist then create one. Find the line that says "set path=" + lots of stuff. Add a semi-colon and write the directory where the compiler is. Your final path thing might look like this:
set path=c:\windows;c:\windows\system;c:\your_borland_compiler\bin
NOTE: Keep any stuff in the path there! Other programs might want the same deal (e.g. Java compilers).
(I can't remember the directory, of course - just do a "find files" and find it, replacing it as appropriate.)
Once you've done that, reboot your machine and try again.
If you're using Windows NT, 2000 or XP then right-click on the "My Computer" icon, select "properties", and look for an Environment Variables button. There should be a "path" environment variable sitting somewhere - again, just add a semicolon at the end and add the compiler's directory.

Give me a minute or two. I have to reboot back into Windows 2K first...
EDIT: Well done!
