The turtle has to be running a program that is listening for messages. You can test if it is the right message with a if statement, and then use shell.run() to run your program.

Something like this:
rednet.open('right')
event, sender, msg = os.pullEvent('rednet_message')
if sender == 5 then --change to the id of the host computer
if msg == 'Go forward' then -- change to the message
shell.run('Anotherprogram', arguments)
end
end
