Adding some more questions:

I see that there is a rake task that can be created using:

file 'lib/gui_base_classes.rb' => 'xrc/my_project.xrc' do | t |
  sh "xrcise -o #{t.name} xrc/project.xrc"
end

.. which is supposed to be able to automatically update your project if 
something changes.  However, there's no example explanation of what this 
does exactly.  For instance, what does gui_base_classes.rb correspond 
to?  What is in that file?  Is project.xrc just an overall xrc file for 
the entire project?  Or, is it just one xrc file that points to multiple 
xrc files?  Again, no explanation or example referenced with the rake 
task.

When I create a new project in dialogblocks, it asks me the projects xrc 
name.  Let's say for example, I make it project.xrc.  When I create a 
first frame element called parent_window and then decide to let the xrc 
be named to parent_window.rb, when I save my project later on, I see the 
following in the ui folder.

\ui\project.xrc
\ui\parent_window.xrc

This leads me to believe that I will have multiple xrc files for each 
frame?  Or, am I mistaken..  Which file would I be using in the rake 
task above?  Again, following the tutorials outlined here:

http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?UsingXRCise

What I understand 100% is that xrcise is basically creating ruby file(s) 
that contain all of the information pertaining to the elements of my 
program.  And, all I have to create are the listener events for each 
piece of the gui with my modules and classes.

What I don't understand is the inner-workings of all of this and how it 
ties in together in terms of files, folder structure, requires, and 
includes...
