Wine is a windows api emulator so it is a little more involved than that but you are getting the right idea once wine is installed you need to install the app and then run it though wine. -- Seek That Thy Might Know -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Driving Test
If you open a Terminal session (Applications/Accessories/Terminal), type: cd ~/.wine/drive_c/ If you cd to the Program Files directory or wherever it installed to, you can load the program via wine from there. Tab completion works well (typing part than pressing the Tab key), but remember that it is case sensitive, so make sure you get the case correct.

If you type: ls you will see the files in the folder. Just like the Windows dir command.
