How to run a MS-DOS application in Wine?

I have read that Wine supports or might support executing MS-DOS apps and games but my question is how. I can't find a way to execute them. I am trying Monkey Island for example or The 7th Guest. Using Wine 1.4rc2 right now.

The following link is why I ask this: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineReleaseCriteria?action=show&redirect=WineReleasePlan

It appears as if DosBox is integrated in Wine but this is the confusion. If it is already integrated, how to execute MS-DOS.

DOSBox is a good solution, but Dosemu is a more powerful option; for example, in DOSBox you can't use a printer.

$ sudo apt-get install dosemu

you can edit the configuration if it doesn't suit you:

$ vi /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf

see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man1/dosemu.bin.1.html
