I have a similar problem - that program that does a ie.link().click
that brings up a File Save Dialog never resumes.
I've tried threads, and system calls to run the Autoit stuff, but the
only way I can automatically fill in the File Save Dialog is to run a
separate autoit ruby program from the command line.
Then after autoit fills in the dialog, and the file is saved, the
original ruby program that got to that point is hung, still on the
ie.link().click. It never resumes once the dialog is gone.
It's really frustrating.
