Refer to the FAQ for the full instructions, but here's a quick version:

Use a text editor (ZTE is great, thanks Nathan).
Create the batch file and save it as penright.bat in a directory you create.
Double click on it from file manager.

Voila.

If you find a good use for doing this, please let us all know.. I still
haven't found one. Remember - as soon as the DOS app requires keyboard
input, you must soft reset.

(background to this: In the GEOS.INI file, Geoworks has specified a
number of DOS files which can be run (PCCOM, penright.bat, sdisk.exe).
You may choose to modify this ini file to allow any DOS app to be
launched by including *.exe, *.com and *.bat. Please refer to the FAQ for
full instructions.
