I really need to know and I'm sure it's simple, but I can't figure it out.

When opening the file and you get that window of sizing of the object; just click the 'invert y' button. if that doesn't work re-open it and invert another direction, either x or z.
If getting a mirrored object is your goal, then invert two of the following: x, y, and z. it's basically trial and error from there.

What connection dows it have to the level editor though? Can you turn .3DS files in to ingame objects?

You use TRviewer or STRpix to export an object's .3DS file from a .TR4 file, and then you can import it after it's been changed around.

Can you put new 3DS files into a WAD? The thing I downloaded won't accept .3DS files.

Sure - but try using STRpix to output as a .DXF file first. I know that works with M/Sq.
