Chris, have you tried reading the online docs? http://www.winehq.com/site/docs/wine-user/running

I found wine very hard to get started with. I recommend using winetools
with the recommended wine package (you can track it down via
rpmseek.com )

as root install wine-20041019
as USER install winetools

do it in that order and then follow the instructions in winetools. After
that a launcher for, say, Adobe Acrobat Reader might look like this:

wine "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"

Good luck.

Duncan
