Hey, another B5 fan, eh? Cool.
Anyways, if you are just wanting to start an application (for example
Starcraft), then it would go something like this (from a shell):
wine /path/application
So on my system, it goes like this:
wine /mnt/windows/Program\ Files/Starcraft/starcraft.exe
Note that some of the funny looking forward/back slashes are for spaces in the
filenames/paths...
Using KDE, you can also open a window to your app, then right-click on the
executable, and choose "open with" and type in wine there...that should work
as well.
I finally got tired of typing in those longish commands and put them as
aliases into my /home/darklord/.bashrc file, like this:
#My alias's
alias diablo2='winex /mnt/windows/Program\ Files/Diablo\ II/Game.exe'
alias starcraft='winex /mnt/windows/Program\ Files/Starcraft/starcraft.exe'
So that just typing in starcraft or diablo2 starts the games.
Now...if you want to do other things with wine, then from a shell, type in
wine and hit the "tab" key. It will bring up a list of wine commands that you
can use. Also, just typing in "wine" and hitting enter will bring up a dialog
with some syntax that you might want to look at as well...
Hope this helps! ;-)
