For the Windows folk:

ruby -ropen-uri -e "puts open(
'http://hoho.dyndns.org/~holger/smalltalk.html').read.gsub(/Smalltalk/,
'Ruby')" > foo.html && start foo.html
&& ruby -e "sleep 3"
&& del foo.html

And all that needs to be one line.

Does anyone know if Windows has a line continuation thingy like *nix's 
backslash (\)?

Cheers,
Dave
