I need one more step to get it started. I need to know what the file type i need to type in to get it started
For Example: To get the game TestDrive started you type in TDCGA.EXE
What do you type in to get Arena started?

First you have to run the install program from inside of DOSBox to configure sound and whatnot, when I think you just run:
ARENA

(or arena.bat if you want to type the extension as well, but it's unnecessary)

To run a game, look for a .bat, .exe, or .com file.
If there's more than one type, then it'll usually be the .bat file.

Hint: Windows explorer hides extensions by default, so you might not be able to see them that way, but you can use the "dir" command in dosbox to list the files in a directory (folder).
You can even do "dir *.exe", "dir *.bat", and "dir *.com" to list just those types.
