All you need to do is run the dos program. OS/2 will open a dos box, run the 
program, and then return to the os/2 session all automatically. All this 
assumes that you loaded DOS support in the first place.
Assuming you still have your dos files and you have a path for them, type 
"edit" in an os/2 window and you'll get the idea.
