Subject: Re: Using Ruby-Cocoa - how to send a Obj-C object a msg?

I figured out what I did wrong on the code below...  I was sending to self,
and should have been sending to the local mystring.

require 'osx/cocoa'

mystring = OSX::NSString.stringWithString("Hello")
strLength = mystring.ocm_send(:length)
puts strLength


But part of the question still stands!  How do I tell Ruby-Cocoa about a new
Obj-C class that I've created and want to use from Ruby?

Thanks for the time,
