Dear David,

I still must be doing something wrong.  I am not very experienced in Linux.  I 
have never installed from an editor.  Your script comes up in Kate, and I 
don't know how to use it.  Eberhard also says, over and over to use the 
script, but I just don't understand how that works.

I have Wine 1.1.23 installed in my computer.  I made sure your script is 
executable by checking the appropriate box.  I have downloaded and installed 
e-Sword.  That is the last thing I did, just moments ago.  I read and tried to 
understand your script.  The term echo made me think that when I am attempting 
to install, those red lettered items appear in Kate.  I noticed a comment in 
the script that said I have to have e-Sword installed, so that is when I 
finally installed e-Sword, by clicking on e-Sword and following the 
installation procedure.  I thought that was needed to activate your script.  I 
am sure that now I have done something wrong, because although e-Sword is 
among the programs in Wine, when I click on it, it does not open.

Have I screwed up beyond repair?  Thanks for your kind help.

Steven
