It appears to be that the WIN32OLE.connect method cannot be fixed as 
long as the WIN32OLE is class in IronRuby. This is b/c the connect 
method substitutes for the new(initialize) method when called.  I don't 
believe ruby allows you to create a class instance with out calling the 
new method.  Therefore, I see (2) possible solutions:

1. Change WIN32OLE to a module not a class and have the ability to call 
connect or new.

2. Add a connect method to WIN32OLE class and change the way connect has 
to be coded to connect to a running instance of an application.

I have attached a file showing a possible way to accomplish solution #1.

My questions are:
Which way should it go?
And are there issues that would come up if WIN32OLE were a module and 
not a class?

Thanks for any help on this.

Timothy
