[Wine] Newbie wants to run Forte Agent

[James E. Lang]

I should have pointed out that in my comment about the --icon option I had 
attempted to supply a .png file. Here is the complete command I used:

/usr/bin/wineshelllink --desktop --path "d:/Pegasus/4.12a/winpm-32.exe" --link 
"PMail 4_31" --args "-i jelly -z 128" --icon "/win/g/icon editor/yelpmail.png"  
--descr "E-mail client written by David Harris"

The icon option did not take effect on the desktop. The descr option appeared 
in the comments field rather than the description field.
