bruce, your last - and only - problem is the /etc/fstab.
You must change it to have write permissions on your vfat partition,
seen by Wine as
C:\anything\you\want.
Try to use uid/gid/mode options to give your wine user the property on
the files -
remember: on vfat, all the files have the same owner and group.

wine.conf will be my backup when /wine/config is totally screwed up.

The first thing I tried, when I saw it was trying to write to
\windows\temp was to try to change permissions or owner. root is not
allowed to change either - I don't know why. It seems to work with no
error messages, but nothing is changed.

wine wouldn't accept the \.wine (with the dot) so I created another
directory /home/bruce/wine/temp (owner bruce and 777 permissions) and
tried "temp" = "H:\\wine\\temp" Ran, but behaved the same, access
denied (c:\WINDOWS\TEMP\UNDO.ac$)
The man page for wine.conf suggests that under [wine], one should use
"temp" = "c:\\temp" . I created c:/temp and tried to change
permissions and owner, but it didn't change.
This is very frustrating. I feel I am very close, but can't get there.
