Using Wine

The one I'm working on is Dora's World Adventure.  I just tried the
database, but couldn't find it.  In my accessories folder I have wine help
(which is blank) wine file browser, and wine notepad.

I fiddled around for a while in the file browser and found a "run" command
which allowed me to access the CD and try to install the CD.  It put a Wine
folder under my applications with a link to the Dora game, but the game
won't run.  I assumed it was because of a lack of RAM.  Did I run Wine
properly?  Should I still run it from the command line?

Thanks

Bruce
