There's a tutorial right here in this site:
http://www.abandonia.com/main.php?nav=intro&FAQ=1 You may want to use a frontdend like D-Fend. Google is your friend. And you posted in the competitions/games forum...

Japofran has already pointed you to the Dosbox tutorial, did you read it?
Where in the process are you having difficulty?

You might want to check out the official DosBox FAQ, and particularly this part of it. It is quite helpful for users unfamiliar with DosBox.
I suggest you also read the pages about command line, internal programs (very important!) and the config file. If that stuff is a bit too much for you, you might consider using one of the multiple frontend programs available. It's all easier then it seems. So remember: DON'T PANIC!!!
