Subject: Windows Automation

So, I'm trying to figure out how to automate various programs using
ruby, and feeling a bit over my head at the moment.  I'm still pretty
new to ruby and programming, so maybe this is beyond me, but its the #1
reason I decided to learn ruby in the first place.

What I'm wondering is...where to start?  I believe I'm right in the fact
that I need to be using WIN32OLE, but beyond that I can't seem to get
anywhere.

How do you determine what the exact name of the program is that you need
to pass as a parameter when creating a new WIN32OLE
object('WhatProgramNameHere.Application')?  How do you find what methods
can be used with that specific program?  Am I even right in assuming I
should be using WIN32OLE?  If someone would be so kind as to steer me in
the right direction with some tips or reading material I'd be eternally
grateful.  :)

Thanks for reading,
Marc
