Subject: Re: way to rexpect on windows

I'm pretty sure there's a "native" port of "expect" to Windows, if that 
helps. Are you running "ActiveState" Tck/Tk or some other version?

Does "rexpect" run under CygWin? I've never tried it, but I'm pretty 
sure the CygWin Tcl/Tk/expect works fine on Windows. And if you (or 
someone else) figures out how to start up Internet Explorer (or for that 
matter, Excel) from CygWin, I'd like to know -- it would be quite useful.
