If it accepts this sort of option

newsreader.exe c:\foo

that should work as long as they are all in .wine/drive_c/

As you're new to linux, try opening a terminal and type the word alias,
then press return
I get this
[dec at genius ~]$ alias
alias l.='ls -d .* --color=tty'
alias ll='ls -l --color=tty'
alias ls='ls --color=tty'
alias vi='vim'
alias which='alias | /usr/bin/which --tty-only --read-alias --show-dot
--show-tilde'
[dec at genius ~]$

add your own exactly as shown

you can also add variables this way
export MYNAME='Declan Moriarty'
echo $MYNAME

These are the unix approach.
