How would I enter emacs-lisp such as
"""
;; highlight brackets
(require 'paren)
(show-paren-mode 1)
"""
WITHIN emacs itself? I do not have access to the .emacs file as I am using
an emacs instance within another program run as another user.

I am no expert but maybe you can write all your customisations in a file
where you have write access and eval the entire file at the start of
your session?
If your customisations are a couple of lines then you can always write
it in the *scratch* buffer, and use `C-j' or mark the region and do `M-x
eval-region'.
Hope this helps.

That "require" command is not needed. Emacs will load paren.el
automatically when you call show-paren-mode function.

If the code is particularly short you can type esc : then
type the code in the minibuffer and finally press enter to
evaluate. Anyway you'll have to do it each time you start a
new emacs session.

Put the statements into the *scratch* buffer, mark the region, and
then execute any of eval-expression or eval-region. You could also try
eval-buffer...

I like eval-last-sexp (C-x C-e) because it works in just about every
mode. And there is ielm (M-x ielm) which gives you an Emacs Lisp REPL.
