"with" isn't a reserved word in Ruby so what you want it isn't native. However, someone wrote a module for "with":
   
  http://raa.ruby-lang.org/list.rhtml?name=with-block
   
  http://frottage.org/rjp/ruby/with.html

  Dear all,

Object Pascal (at least as provided by Delphi) has a facility to send
a sequence of messages to the same receiver, using a construct called
'with'. If 'obj' is an object with callable methods 'meth1', 'meth2'
and 'meth3', it is possible to write:

with obj do
meth1();
meth2(param);
meth3(param1, param2)
end

Can a similar thing be accomplished in Ruby?

Thanks,

JS
