[Wine] Re: Unable to access wine main interface

[SpawnHappyJake]

Well, John answered you pretty darn well, but just to bring out the 400 grit sandpaper, there is no "main" interface because the idea is that it be slipstreamed
with the host operating system; the focus is whatever program you are
running. They want you to be able to just run a Windows program no
different than running a native program. If you first had to open a WINE
console, and then launch a Windows program out of that, that would ruin
the slipstreamedness.
If you're a beginner, and want to get going, read the WINE faq and WINE myths.
The WINE FAQ is on the long side. Take it as you can.

I threw together a quick and dirty intro to WINE with the goal of getting a given newbie to know very quickly what WINE is and give them a kick start:
