(This is not FOX-specific.)

Yes. If you're using the Pragmatic Programmer's Ruby installer for 
Windows, just change the extension on your Ruby program from ".rb" to 
".rbw". Files with a ".rb" extension are associated with the 
console-mode version of ruby (ruby.exe), while files with a ".rbw" 
extension are associated with the windows-mode version (rubyw.exe).
