Okay.  Here is where I am.

In a shell I executed export WINEPREFIX="/home/rick2210/.ies4linux/ie6" 
Then installed Quicken into "/home/rick2210/.ies4linux/ie6"
Then copied Quicken from Windows XP drive to the .ies4linux/ie6 location

Then I executed
export WINEPREFIX="/home/rick2210/.ies4linux/ie6"
wine "/home/rick2210/.ies4linux/ie6/drive_c/Program Files/Quicken/qw.exe"
and Quicken started up and I was able to get to registration page for 
Quicken.com which always comes up.  Never got this far so I think it is 
seeing the ie6 in ies4linux

I was able to connect to bank and download the transactions but they did 
not get saved.
