Mike,

Thanks for the quick response. The command line you suggest does open a console. 

Trying to run is.exe in that console still presents the white rectangle and "Bad
Path" error. Is there any documentation that would begin to suggest how to get
around this? 

The wine-users guide suggests two ways to invoke it. The first has an error in it:

"wineconsole -- --backend=user foo.exe" - that first "--" has to go. This
version doesn't succeed with is.exe.

The second is what I was doing before:

"wineconsole foo.exe" - which it says should default to --backend=curses, which
produces the error I reported before. The guide does seem to say that this is a
"way it was designed to be used."

So the guide needs at least one, maybe two fixes - removing that "--" in the
first method, and clarifying the use of wcmd as the preferable way of running
things in the second, if that's really the case (although it didn't help for
me). The first method does mention requiring "USER32 DLL" - which I haven't
checked for in my default install. It's not throwing an error about that though.
Instead it's briefly flashing a fresh, small X console window on the screen
which promptly disappears - that's all it does.
