Hidetoshi,

The OS is WinXP, I have also tried IRB with eclipse as an external tool 
with no luck. What Ross described does not work on windows as he has 
ruby on a linux box. The example you mentioned in runy-talk was done 
with tk. Is there any ways or doing this in simple dos command prompt 
(or eclipse)? I expected ruby to me more portable than this!
