Subject: Re: Where is my TestResult?

Excellent, Pit!  Many new nuggets of Rubyness for me to chew on here,
many thanks for taking the time on this Holiday to reply.

>The question is: what do you want to do with the current list of failures?

As I mentioned, I'm exploring Test::Unit to better understand what's
going on under the surface.  I don't have a particular need other than
familarization and dexterity with Ruby.

However,  it seems that one must be able to locate the instance of
Test::Unit::TestResult in order to invoke it's #add_observer() method,
ja?  Or perhaps there is a more direct way to Observe what  is
happening?  Again, I'm just curious at this point, but some context of
my project might help:

I wish to create a Ticket Box Office for my wife's theater company.  It
is a facinating little problem, involving a neat little Domain Model of
Venues, Performances, Seats, Reservations, and the like.  I'm starting
my Ruby journey by implementing a core concept, the Venue.  It will be
a simple CRUD use case/user story(ies), but will lead to such fun as
SeatMaps and whatnot.  Once I feel like I have sufficent understanding
of the Standard API, I'll move on to Rails and let the web fun begin!

Many thanks again for the code example...*runs of to start chewing*...
