It's pretty simple to get the hang of.
If you wanted to play say, Brutal Doom with a custom level set, say, Hellbound, you can make a shortcut to GZDoom, and add to the commandline of that shortcut the .wad filenames (as long as they're in the same folder)

It'd look a bit like this
C:\Games\GZDoom\gzdoom-bin-1-5-06\gzdoom.exe BrutalDoom.pk3 Hellbound.wad
And then at the prompt you'd pick Doom2.wad (most levelsets tend to be built on Doom2)
