Subject: communicating w/ command-line program (OR ruby expect)

Hello,

I'm trying to communicate w/ a command-line process w/ ruby.  I
thought IO.popen would be the right tool for the job, but I need to be
able to read and write to the process, and I can't get it to work
(i've googled for examples, but everything I have seen is only doing
one-way communication).  Anyway, it looks like what I need is
something like "Expect" for ruby.  Does anyone know if such a tool
exists?  (Or any other way in which I could read/write from a
command-line program).

Thanks!
Cam
