Thanks for that Jeff, saves me having to do the prelim. The site which appears to basically be the hub of Ruby/G<everything> is http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/, which should give you a fair idea of what's available. I see tutorials, API references, and mailing lists, which should be enough to get you charging down the road of GUI development in no time. - Matt -- When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
