You're right, that's not it. It's completely loaded and will just sit there patiently waiting until I click on it with the mouse.

Since programming isn't my knack, I wanted to check if there was something that WATIR/Ruby could do to handle it. I can get the developers to put a default start point/focus into the app. It won't be the first time I pester them with my agenda. ...*THIS* I have a knack for. :o) Thanks Tiffany!
