But Ruby's system() doesn't have an option that return control to the calling script. See the discussion here http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=547206, especially the last comment from the user "BrowserUK". That's the feature that makes Perl the best choice for controlling multiple concurrent scripts, especially if they kick up multiple popups. -Chris _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
