I can smell a kind of sarcasm here ;-). Anyways, you are welcome.

You can also see into how you launch your ruby from FreePascal, some 
exec variants, like execve(),  provide the ability to specify 
environment for a program you launch. I now recall this mentioned on 
some FreePascal forums. (Disclaimer: I do not know FreePascal, I do not 
program in Windows).

Sorry if it is of no help either,
Gennady.
