,----
| require 'rubygems'
| require 'rbosa'
| 
| finder = OSA.app('Finder')
| 
| finder.selection.each do |item|
|   # path to file, using URL notation
|   puts "file=" + item.url
|   
|   # Rename the file
|   item.name = 'new-name'
| end

You can also use rdoc-osa to generate documentation for a scriptable
application:

,----
| rdoc-osa --name Finder
`----

Finally, you might want to think about subscribing to the RubyOSA
mailing list: http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubyosa-discuss

Good luck.
