Anyway, it's been a while since I wrote > any Windows Scripting Interface stuff (though it is nice to use). Here's all I know/guess about that. A developer at HS said that it would be trivial to support Ruby if I could provide him the "magic string" (my term, not his). arton told me this was "RubyScript". So Rich H. at HS sent me a binary that supported this. Never worked for me, though. As for whether HS still knows this magic string, I couldn't say; I asked Rich about that today in email. As for choice of scripting languages, I know that HS supports both VBscript and Perl(Script) out-of-the-box. I believe that it just uses the file extension for this purpose: VBScript scripts have to have a ".txt" extension, for instance, and I think it's ".pl" for Perl (and I assume .rb for Ruby). Hal Fulton
