Ok, I figured it out.  I'm not sure why it works or what's going on,
but I'll leave that for later.  ;)

require 'reform.rb'
r = Text::Reform.new

filename1    = "This is a long filename"
description1 = "desc"
filename2    = "Filename"
description2 = "This is a long description"
filename3    = "This is a long filename"
description3 = "This is a particularly long description"

output = ""
output <<          "------------------------\n"
output << r.format("[[[[[[[[[[[  [[[[[[[[[[[", filename1, description1)
output <<          "------------------------\n"
output << r.format("[[[[[[[[[[[  [[[[[[[[[[[", filename2, description2)
output <<          "------------------------\n"
output << r.format("[[[[[[[[[[[  [[[[[[[[[[[", filename3, description3)
output <<          "------------------------\n"

puts output
