I've used Wine on a couple of occasions, what do you specifically need to know? Normally, you'd just use the command 'wine' before the Windows executable you want to run, e.g.

shell$ wine notepad.exe

Prior to doing this, you must have wine setup properly, all the environmental variables, etc. You can use Wine with or without an existing Windows installation. IMHO, it works best with Win9x installs.
