turnpike 6 - a challenge for i cognoscenti, or a lost cause

The beta version of turnpike 6 is out. I'm using it here, but under
win4lin.
A big point of the new version is that it uses windows explorer, and I
had heard on the grapevine that it was therefore going to be a problem
proggie for wine.
I've tried running the v6 'connect' program under wine - that works
fine (downloads a new newsgroup list, gets me an e-mail - when WILL I be
able to look at it)
But launching the reader is greeted by contemptuous silence..
So I've a few attempts at launching explorer separately- without
success, due to a string of fixme's & unimplemented functions
Oh goodee, I thought, a new problem with TP....
But at the back of my mind is a post from someone (Uwe?) saying that
windows explorer and friends would probably never run under wine,
because they are too closely integrated with the kernel.... a quick look
on deja failed to find a relevant post though.
Am I remembering aright? If not, any guidance on getting explorer and
TP6 up together (as co-tasks?)
