Look under import, and download the .3ds(3D-studio) importer python script. Install the file, and then look under File/Import in order to load the .3ds file.

Doesn't Blender come with a 3DS importer already installed? Just click File->Import and it should be in the list. It's been a while since I've used it, though, so I could be wrong.
