Those are the actual table files that MySQL uses for the MyISAM table type. You should be able to just copy them into the datadir under a database directory and MySQL will find them and you should be able to use the tables like normal after copying them. If you don't know where your datadir is you can find out by doing a SHOW VARIABLES like 'datadir'. I recommend shutting down the server first as well, or else you could get into some weird data corruption stuff. One point that people tend to get stuck on is file permissions after copying them in. Make sure they are readable/writable by whomever the mysqld is running as.
