WINE. Again.

Sorry for asking, but I need some fairly quick help on this if there is some. 

Downloaded the latest version of the i386 Wine package on a RH9 install and 
don't know the first thing about this program other than the brief rundowns 
through the docs on the WineHQ site. 

I am in a crunch for time and need to find out how to run Win32 apps in Wine. 

I guess I need some more clarification on exactly what is necessary as far as 
installation, configuration and binaries (the Win32 ones that they talk 
about).

Couple of questions:

1.	How do you "run" the Windoze program in Wine? Is it called from somewhere 
in some sort of win32 filesystem that's been translated into a Unix 
filesystem?

2.	What mode would you suggest to run in? I saw three (bare stream, console 
and some other one).

3.	Is there a shell that you would suggest that someone who doesn't want to 
hassle with Linux console can run Wine from? (I noticed one on their site)

Thanks!

Chris
