how do I set up a "DOCTYPE" Declaration in html

I have built a website shop using "Frontpage 2000" which is now up and working.
I have a IBP 8 Programme which scans your website to make it accessible for
search engines, but when it scans my "index" page it keeps asking me to
insert
a "DOCTYPE DECLARATION" which shows which html script I am using, because
it says the search engines will not be able to read the pages without one.At
the
beginning of my page script it just reads <html>.
I have searched the Frontpage programme(including "help"), the Microsoft
website, I have looked through all the FAQ's and I cannot find an answer
anywhere. Other people may have had this problem can anyone help?

Be aware that it's not possible to "scan a site and make it accessible for
search engines". Anything that claims to do that is simply lying.
