Actually, I don't think DosBox should do anything - it just sits there ready to run configured dos applications, eg. some of the games that have been uploaded. Basically, it's there to run other applications, it doesn't actually do anything by itself. Think of it as a type of "dos compataility layer". It will just install itself into the right area of DSL, that's all it will do when you click on it in myDSL.
Download one of the games, check out the directory it installs to (probably in /opt somewhere), and you'll see a dosbox config file that tells DSL how to run the app using dosbox.
Fairly easy to then start bringing some of your own dos games and apps over to dosbox (though it doesn't work for some things). Just create a new dir under /opt, put the files in there, copy a dosbox config into there and edit it so that it points to the right files, tweak some settings, and it may work.
But you need to install the dosbox.dsl before you can attempt to run anything.
