This is what I really like to do, but!!!

I am in the process of verifying that my applications run on ruby .
1.8.6 mingw32.
   the scripts that use Firewatir have problem with jssh to control
Firefox 3.0
   they run fine  on ruby 1.8.6 mswin32

   not a show stopper since I have Watir scripts that work with IE
Explorer

Looks like it will be a while before I can  migrate to ruby 1.9.1 ...
the usual gem problem.

watir does not work on  ruby 1.9.1

firewatir would work on ruby 1.9.1  with a one-line change except for
the problem with jssh.

once again, thank you for your help.
