OK, newbie here. I installed the software package for wine using the 
software manager under linux mandrake 8.2. My question is how do I use wine?

 From my experience wine is a daemon that runs in the backrgound. When 
every you try to run supported win32 applications wine automaticly takes 
care of it. If wine supports it, it will run else it wont.

Hope that helps.

actually thats only some commercial versions of WINE most are run by typing 
at the command promt "wine 'program name'"
eg 
$ wine "c:\program files\iexplore\iexplore.exe http://www.yahoo.com/"
etc...
BTW on IE5.0 the above example does parial work on my system...
