Need help!!! Newbie to Wine.

[Brandon Kilgore]

Wine is not designed to give you a windows environment (i.e. Windows 
explorer shell), but rather allow you to run windows programs in the X 
Windows environment.  To run a windows program, simply make sure the files 
are in disk directory that you set up during the wine install, and type 
wine program.exe (replacing program.exe with the exucatable you are trying 
to run).
