Thanks for all your help.  I tried the suggestions from the link, but then Linux Lite wouldn't open anything with Wine associations so I reverted to letting wine manage associations via winecfg.

I don't have time to mess this anymore lol.  I'll just right-click .HYP files and open with wine and let .XEX files open automatically.  No biggie...didn't realize this would be such a ball of twine.

Don't use .HYP files very much anyway...just a small inconvenience.

It's a pity to give up, I would have helped more if you'd provided the information that was asked for.

Eh, not a big deal.  Got other things going on to take precedence.  Thanks anyway.
