Ok, I've downloaded a wine.sfs file, and mounted it. Where do I place my windows programmes to open them? Thanks

Find the documentation on wine and follow it .
Its my understanding you install each program the same as you would on windows. Just start wine

First you should open winfiler (or probably anything other wine stuff from the menu). That will trigger it to download some stuff and go through the initial setup.
After that, you should be able to install programs by double clicking on the setup files.
It will put a fake c drive in a hidden directory on /root/.wine. It will make .desktop files, but you may need to rewrite them.
Things that don't need to be installed can just be clicked on.

In Puppy, I do not get any menu entry for Wine.
What I do:
- include the Wine sfs in Sytem > Boot Manager > Load SFS files [this ensures loading of Wine at boot up]
Once loaded,
- run the command winecfg from terminal/console
winecfg will allow you to configure some fonts and display parameters for Win applications [Graphics and Desktop Integration tabs].
Also you can install applications [Applications tab].
Applications and more generally .exe files can be run directly by setting their run action to /usr/local/bin/wine [drag & drop]
There may be other ways to achieve what you want.

Thanks, have been using wine for a long time but have it installed on the save file and it works very well. I was just exploring the sfs route but it seems as if I'm better off by having it installed (no command-lines and all the menu entries are there).
