--- Comment #7 from N.L. <lovyagin at mail.com> ---
For me wine is a tool to run programs that are not ported to linux yet/have no
normal linux analogues (Far Manager, indeed one of such a program). But for
sure using of windows applications from linux should be reduced as much as
possible for many reasons (speed, for example), so if there is a native linux
program it should be executed instead of windows one.

So I can't see any reason why I can't open office document using linux
libreoffice from wine file explorer and not to install windows version of
office to linux (in most cases not a very clever thing to do, isn't it?).

(BTW I can't see any reason to open wine file explorer at all - it would be
much better to open preferred native linux file explorer -
caja/nautilus/dolphin etc).

It is really very expected behaviour of wine shell to run linux application.
Navigate to file in Far and run it by enter - why not? If it was not possible 5
years ago I probably would not migrate from windows to linux. At last that
easily.

Well, one last thing. If you type [code]ls.[/code] instead of [code]ls[/code]
in the cmd shell the program would executed in the latest versions (probably
z:\usr\bin should be in the wine %PATH%). Strange thing, isn't it? If you 
insist on removing the ability of executon of internal linux programs, why not
to fix search of executable files without extension to make everything work
properly?
