Dear Eberhard,

Thanks for answering.  I had the installer in /Documents.  I moved it to the 
Desktop and got the following:  Cannot find wine (wine)
steven at Yeshua:~/Desktop$

I just installed Jaunty again.  Do I have to reinstall Wine?  In kmenu, there 
is an entry for Wine, however it is different from before.  It does not have 
any mention of c:\ or uninstall.  But their is an entry to open Wine from the 
menu that shows Programs which end with the Application e-Sword.
