Hi Daniel,

I'm confused also.  That line of code is taken word for word from the 
Wine database for my program.  In some languages the semi-colon is a 
comment, so I wondered whether that would wipe out any info after it. 
But since this was on the official Wine web site I thought it must be 
right.  Should I try removing everything from the semi-colon to 
"displaying" out of the code?  I don't like making changes when I don't 
understand exactly what I'm doing.

Yes, I can shut it down.  I just mentioned that because I thought it 
might be a clue as to what was happening.

Yes, I assumed since the code was telling Wine to use the native dll 
that it was already a part of my Windows system. It turns out that I 
don't have those dlls.  So, provided I can find them somewhere on the 
internet, what do I do with them?  Where do I put them so Wine can 
access them?

Thanks for your patience.  I am new to Linux and even newer to Wine.  I 
still have a lot to learn.
