Thanks for the kind words!

Yes, it's a "known feature" on Windows. For some obscure reason the 
FOX/FXRuby IO handlers on Windows doesn't see the IO traffic on stdout 
until the process is over. I have tried very hard to fix this problem 
for long to no avail. May be FOX/FX Ruby 1.2 will fix it.

I have implemented a work around in the next version of FreeRIDE 
(coming soon) where a script can be executed by the script runner or 
the debugger in a text console. There you'll see the output in real time.

If you cannot wait to use it, you can get it from the CVS repo of 
FreeRIDE at http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=31

Keep using FreeRIDE and provide us with feedback.

Laurent
