I know that you're supposed to download mods.
After that do you have to do anything fancy, or do you just run an executable provided, or do mods come with their own .txt tutorials on how to run them, or what?
I've just finished Keen 6, because for a while all I had was Keen 1 and then all of a sudden I had them all. So I played through them all. But now I'm hungry for more so naturally I'm turning to Ceilick's stuff, but I'm intimidated by all the jargon thrown about like so many vegetables by the folks at K:M and wondering if I have to be some sort of Keen wizard to run the thing.
Thanks in advance for the slightly amused but nonetheless helpful replies.

You'll usually be fine to just run whatever file has the .bat extension. Sometimes, when the Keen executable isn't included (usually with keen 2 and 3 mods), you'll need to first copy and paste a keen2.exe or keen3.exe into the mod folder. Then you'll need to unlzexe the executable (unlzexe is sometimes included with a mod and can be downloaded otherwise, probably on keen:modding). To do this easily, just drag the keenx.exe onto the unlzexe.exe. After that, you should be good to go to run the .bat file.

You haven't played either yet!!
Both TKoK and DitD include the original Keen exe, so all you have to do for those is drag the keen7.bat or keen8.bat onto the dosbox icon and they'll start up
You can get dosbox here: http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1

I'm running dosbox with this: http://www.turboirc.com/tdb/
Now when I want to play any mod, I right-click on the .bat file and choose "simulate with TurboDosBox", thats all.
Ceilick explained the rest very well.
