Wine probs,PATH environment is missing dirs, and more. :|

Hi all!
I'm trying to start Wine&configuring it, but there seems to be some lack of understanding from me (as in most linux-based software)
One of the things i don't understand is that the executables for Wine lies in /usr/lib/winex/ with root-permissions,while the config/data/fake-windows dirs resides in /home/gentoox/.winex/ These files has gentoox user permissions.
I don't understand much of linux, but this makes no sense to me at all. I've tried to run the executables as super-user,gentoox and root, but with no luck. Another thing that's confusing is that the commands won't run without me typing a ./ before the commds.Then I tried to run the executables as gentoox-user, but got a msg that it can't find the required libs in my path.And Wine told me to edit the config-file in/home/gentoox/.winex/bin, and fill out the harddrives D&E that I should use,and uncomment the #'s before the lines.When i did that, I got a msg that Wine couldn't find /root/.winex/wineserver-Xbox/socket file or directory. LOL! What am I doing wrong? (I feel pretty darn stupid)
And,how can i add a dir to my PATH-env,so that it finds the commands I want every time GentooX boot up? Shouldn't be to difficult, but hey, Linux is not my strong side,as you sure know by know. Amiga-DOS was in fact easier...lol.
Finally, I've set up proftpd to start it's service on every boot, and I can log in,but how can I configure it? I get a msg that my root-level is only 1000, and it should (of course) be 1001. LOLx2
This was a lot of questions, but I hope someone can help me, maybe I even understand this incredibly stable OS one day? In fact, I have run GentooX for almost a year now, and the kernel-core has *NEVER* crashed!
Incredible! Windows 2000 couldn't do that,even if it was just running notepad for a year. Just a guess.
Lastly, can I increase the fontsize in XTERM? I use XFCE4 in 800x600, and have trouble reading the text. Hope you can have a nice laugh of my troubles, and maybe even help me with some of them?
