Subject: Pop-up-dialogues with TK? (Newbie)

I want to build a ruby-program without GUI, but with popup-dialogues
which ask for certain inputs. How can I do this?

Details:

I am ruby-newcomer. I played around with Tk, looked into several
online documentations, but could not find the right way to do this.

An example could be:
- A ruby-program converting .txt-file to .html-file, started
   from within DOS by "ruby -myfile.rb",
- asking with a popup-Window for the file-path,
- clicking "ok", popup-window disappears,
- the program going on with conversion and doing its job.


Tk-Version 8.3
Windows 95
Ruby 1.6.5   i386-cygwin
