That works with an .rb extension but not .rbw
Seems to be DOS based commands that aren't working without a console, 
and that extends to cmd itself.
Interestingly I do get a flicker of a cmd window running that with 
rubyw, but it doesn't hide the file.
It works if I use command prompt with ruby and run 'rubyw.exe test.rbw' 
from inside the command prompt window.
