Subject: Problem with "-r" command line argument

Well, I'm having one more problem with RubyStudio. I implemented a drawer to
save arguments and they all work *except* for -r. If I put anything in the
-r textbox, Ruby says "0: No such file to load --  <fileName in -r box>
(LoadError)

I put the following debug code in RubyStudio:

    count = [theArguments count];
    for (index = 0; index < count; index++)
        NSLog(@"index: %d string: %@", index, [theArguments
objectAtIndex:index]);
    [myTask setArguments:theArguments];

And for a simple case  where I only have -w and - r turned on I get:
2002-02-26 10:39:21.214 RubyStudio[919] index: 0 string: -w
2002-02-26 10:39:21.215 RubyStudio[919] index: 1 string: -r osx/cocoa
2002-02-26 10:39:21.215 RubyStudio[919] index: 2 string: /tmp/Prog.rb

Which looks ok to me.

Other clues are:
Quoting doesn't seem to matter. -r works from the shell which eats the
quotes anyway.
ENV is different in RubyStudio than in the shell but I don't see any
important difference.
The other command line arguments that take a file path work. It's just -r
that's troublesome.
