Running DOS program on Win2000

I have a new computer with Windows 2000. However, some of the software I use for work is DOS based program and Windows 2000 will not execute them. I am unsure of the syntax for using “forcedos” command. For example, if the file I want to execute is located in C:\PROGRAMS\WP60\WP.EXE, how would I configure the shortcut to execute the WP command?
