Have downloaded Wine 1.4.4 (sourceforge); now in my Applications
Have downloaded WineBottler; now in my Apps (what's the difference?  are both necessary?  does one do everything?)

Also downloaded Darwine ppc-0.9.27; do I need this? what does it do?

Have MS Internet Explorer 8 in; won't open, though; ??
Have OpenOffice loaded in previously; now when I attempt to open IE the Xterm for W Window Systems (X11 1.1.3 - XFree86 4.4.0) opens (which always opens before OO opens), but IE doesn't follow....?

When I click on WineBottler (Applications) it opens Manage Prefixes, which lists only MS IE 8, but doesn't give any indication I can translate about the do with this info/screen/dialog ... ?

Have mseinstall.exe, which I downloaded, understanding from the www.site that it would work on the Mac; clicking on that results in X11 opening again, along with Wine Install "Prefix creation aborted" + a Wine Files_Install.log, which tells me that "No such file or directory  Task returned with status 127" + a Console Log which seems to say that it's attempting a www connection to a particular address and failing (which is curious, since I am already on-line, so why is it trying to go elsewhere?  another well-hidden code not usually permitted to a peasant?).

Don't now if all this info belongs here, but will try this first.  Thank you to any who can, in the midst of all your busy programming and whatever, give some direction.  Much appreciated.
