I have Knoppix 6.4.3 and I have found something called Wine Configurator but I have no idea what I'm configuring, my program that I want to run or the Knoppix desktop?  Because I am completely lost, can someone give me key-stroke by key-stroke details on how to run a DOS/Windows program?

Wine is very poor at running DOS apps, so if it really is a DOS app you want to run, use DOSBox. 

As for getting started, reading the FAQ is the best place to start, followed by checking the AppDB for information on the specific app(s) you want to run. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ
