Subject: IE Automation

I would like to use Ruby to create an automation tool to transfer
information from one web page (contains all information) to another
web page (a linear progression of web pages).

I have the usual 
ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application')
ie.visible = true
and I will do this two times (one for each page).  But when I try to
access the 'zip' information, I can't seem to get it and I have tried
a lot of things....

Here is a snippet of the page that I have
MAIN PAGE
<HTML><HEAD>
<FRAMESET ...>
<FRAME name=main src="/atrepts.html">


SUBPAGE atrepts.html
<HTML><HEAD>
<FORM action=atquery.php method=post>
</HEAD>
<BODY><TABLE>
<INPUT name=query3 size=25>

How would I use 
ie.getproperty() to retrieve this value?  I have tried a number of
things without success like:
ie.getproperty("query3")
ie.getproperty("query3.value")
ie.getproperty("document.query3")
ie.getproperty("document.all.query3.value")
but I am not having any luck with any of these.  any help would be
great.

thanks
