This is unable to locate the ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa.  According to the WINEhq instructions, this was to be entered in the Software Solutions, so I tried to search for it in synaptic.

I don't use Ubuntu, so I can't help with this. Ask on the Ubuntu forum.

I am a Linux dummy.  I am used to windows .exe files for installing applications.  I am just trying to get started learning about Linux.  Can I use synaptic package manager to install the files that I downloaded?

Sounds like you downloaded the source tarball. No, you can't use your package manager to install it; that's for building Wine yourself.
