Subject: problem with RubyDotNet r3 evaluator .rbw

I just downloaded R.D.N. r3 and I've got a little problem. 
If I try to run the evaluator scipt I get this error:

c:/programmi/ruby-1.8/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dotnet/bridge.rb:124:in
`inter
nalSendMessage': It is invalid to push a main message loop in this
context. This
 may cause your application to not respond to Windows messages.
(DotNetException
)
        from
c:/programmi/ruby-1.8/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dotnet/bridge.rb:
124:in `sendMessage'
        from
c:/programmi/ruby-1.8/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/dotnet/bridge.rb:
273:in `method_missing'
        from evaluator.rbw:165:in `runNewOnForm'
        from evaluator.rbw:248


I even get this error with this simple script:

>> require 'dotnet'
=> true
>> loadLibrary('System.Windows.Forms')
=> #<DotNetObject:0x27eb1a0 @dotNet=#<DotNet:0x27ec4a8>,
@objectRef=#<WrappedObjectRef:0x27eb518>>
>> Application.run(Form.new)

....same error...


I thought this should work  :(
BTW, I'm not much into the .net development, so possibly I'm just
doing a wrong thing.

OTOH, running tests work fine, some tests are failing cause it seem I
don't have csc.exe in my path.. 

anyway this is really an impressive package! 
Just two things:
- would you please add the online documentation to the archive? goin
online just to get some docs that could safely fit in the .zip file is
a PITA.

- would you add some more samples?
