But I'd better look at this again in both AS and RubyCocoa apps. But what I understood in my RubyCocoa reading was that the user had to create all the links to the UI. > You're wrong about that.

Matt If I knew Obj-C I'd probably have enough experience to handle Cocoa easily. I'm afraid there's too much interaction with the Ruby script to make the going back and forth to AS worthwhile, but I'll consider it. Just to confirm, you're talking about Chap. 23, p.364 "Do shell script"? BTW, it was your article on Ruby that got me to dive into Ruby. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
