Hi botp,

Are you trying this out in Scite or is their something else that you are 
using?I believe when you execute (F5) the first two lines of code, it 
will open IE with google url.

Now, with the google url already open, I want to update the code in such 
a way that I can enter the text in the search field without opening a 
new session of the browser. So, if I just add the 3rd line of my code 
and execute, it would definitely open a new instance of IE (since it 
will execute ie = Watir::IE.new again). I want to avoid that, hoping 
that there must be a logic between the first 2 lines and the 3rd line 
which avoids opening a new browser.

Another idea would be to check if there is an existing instance of IE 
already present and then we can just do ie.goto(url).

Can you help with the logic?

Thanks,
Anukul
