Dear Ruby experts,
 
I would like to use Ruby's WIN32OLE and/or WIN32API capability to
automate a translation application.
In the documentation on the web, there are examples on how to
use Ruby to create Excel and Word documents and to write to them.
 
My problem is now that I do not know how to tell Ruby what to substitute  in
the book example's lines 
 
ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application')
ie.visible = true
ie.gohome
 
so that my application is loaded ( is it always  NameoftheProgram.Application 
?)
and what methods are then available to that object. I need to pass text  into
a field, for instance ....
 
Thank you for your help!
 
Best regards,
 
Axel
