I want to have a pane in my GUI that works like irb.  Basically embed it 
into a windows app.  I'm starting a process in the background for irb 
and I want to pass input to it and read output from it.  It's 
interactive, it's just indirectly interactive so irb doesn't print the 
prompt and dies immediately on error instead of printing the message and 
staying alive.
