Wine maps the drives to virtual locations in your FS. Here's what
mine look like:
Venus:~> ls -lh .wine/dosdevices
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 levi levi 10 2006-07-15 20:17 c: -> ../drive_c
lrwxrwxrwx 1 levi levi 11 2006-07-19 20:51 d: -> /mnt/cdrom1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 levi levi 11 2006-07-24 18:32 e: -> /mnt/cdrom2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 levi levi 1 2006-07-15 20:17 z: -> /
So, in your case, it looks like you could use "Z:\home\xpondr\ms\EEWrite.txt"
You could also map another drive to /home/xpondr/ms or wherever.
