That should have been:

find ~/.wine -iname "*.exe" | less
     ^^

This version will work even when you aren't in your home
directory. See: "info bash" on tilde expansion for the gory details.

You don't, since it requires wine. Instead, create an alias. Something
like:

alias IE="wine 'c:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/IEXPLORE.EXE'"

Now you can run Internet Exploder by entering "IE" at the command
line.

If you don't want to look at all the debug output in your term,

alias IE="wine 'c:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/IEXPLORE.EXE' 2> /dev/null"

Again, "info bash" for the gory details. I'll also let you read the
info pages for BASH to figure out how to make an alias permanent.

A lot of what I've just done is mid to entry level shell stuff. See
the several good documents on BASH at the Linux Documentation Project
for more information there.

Can't help you there. Try the Wine web site or users' list (in that
order). I suspect someone there will know how to do it.
