Hi,

Thank you for responding.

First of all, this feature is documented in your website.

7.4. How do I launch native applications from a Windows application?

You can start native applications directly from Wine only if you specify the
full path or use the shell:

/usr/bin/glxgears

or

/bin/sh -c glxgears

You might also need winepath to translate the filename from Windows format to
Linux format (see next question).

It can be very useful, for some programs. For example, in one of my app, I need
to run java to do some tasks. Instead of installing java into a wineprefix, I
can tell my app to run Linux's native jav.
