I'm trying understand how functionality behind it in the sense that perhaps there are settings one can tweak.

In Linux a spact is not marked using %20 but rather a backslash followed 
by a space '\ '.  However, to start a program in Wine it is best to use:

[code]

cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Alibre\ Design\Program
wine 'Alibre Design.exe'

[/code]

If you want a logging file (highly recommended)

[code]

wine 'Alibre Design.exe' > design.log 2>&1

[/code]

All of the above is explained in the Wine FAQ at
