Hi,

1. have a look at this:
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wtr-general/2005-November/004134.html
2. next time, if you write library name (watir) and version along with
ruby version may help in getting better answer.
3. in ruby it's 'true' not 'TRUE' (maybe in watir it's other, I don't know)

Bye,

Jano
