Does anyone know how I can get KeyCad, which is made to run with windows 95, to load and run in XT?

Compatability mode is your easiest, best shot: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/appcompat.mspx

You try it and tell us if it works.

Nope, tried that with no luck.

Unless you're lucky, you will not find an easy answer to that question.
If your BIOS supports booting to a USB drive, load 95 on a $20 stick.

DOSBox or VMWare (probably overkill) may work for you. Try DOSBox first.

Then you already answered your own question.

Virtual PC - which is free - will allow you to install a virtual windows 95 machine 
inside XP - assuming you have a 95 install CD (like vmware mentioned by another reply, 
but free). Dosbox is just for dos programs - I don't know if your program is dos 
or windows.
