Well, I feel silly now:

I just went to the "http://www.autodesk.com" web page, and
they have a technote on running 3DS R4 under Win95.

It described my problem to a "T".  And solved it too!  Cool!

I also UNinstalled a bunch of stuff in this time too.

Apparently, something removed the "DEVICE=D:\3DS4\PHARLAP.386"
line from my system.ini.  Putting that back in and rebooting
did the trick!
