Hmm, okay, here's the situation. The registry file I needed to import is
in /windows/windows, which is a complete copy of the windows directory and
all its subs from the other machine. I'm assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that
using the regedit in the source-code "programs/regedit" dir will edit the
registry that's in my ~/.wine directory, am I correct? So, I went
to /windows/windows, ran "wine ./regedit" and exported the registry to a file
I called windows_dir.reg in my home dir. Then I went to
~/wine/programs/regedit, ran the regedit there and imported the file. Did I
do this right?
Because the program still doesn't work, it stops with the same error :-( I'm
really hoping that I did something wrong, because I can fix that. If the
program is just being recalcitrant, I really can't do much about that. I'd
rather the problem was something I can fix!

The older I get, the more I realize that it's usually something I overlooked
in my ADD-induced haste :-)
