File associations with Wine programs

Right-click on XEX file and choose  "open with other application", then look for and select the program you want to associate with this type of file. Wine programs might not show and you will need to click on "use a custom command" and browse to the windows exe file. To run with wine you must prefix what you find with wine,
eg wine " /home/USER/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Someprogram/someprogram.exe" and also don't forget to enclose the path in "" because of any spaces in folder/file names.
Then tick the box for "Use as default for this kind of file". Close the dialogs.

Repeat for a HYP file and that should associate those files with the different programs.

Ok, I just did that for both program types.  But the strangest thing is even after manually setting them as you described, they still are linked.  If I manually set Altirra.exe to open .XEX files, the .HYP files will try to open with Altirra.exe also.  And if I then set WinGuide.exe to open .HYP files, then .XEX files try open with WinGuide.exe.
