I played around with win32-utils code, but I was getting odd results.
(It appeared that the fork() was really exec()ing the program in a
subprocess, rather than continuing the subprogram from the point of
the fork.) So I went back to popen.
I ran into a further problem. One button press would generate two
confirmation dialogs, one after the other, without control returning
to Watir between them. So I needed to invent some new syntax. I'm not
wildly fond of it, but it works. It looks like this:
$ie.after {
button(:name, action).click
}.dismiss_windows(
Choose a digital certificate = [{Tab}, {Space}],
Signing = [{Space}]
)
Code below. I should write tests for it. Realistically, though, I
won't have time to be a good submitter for the near future. I have to
learn both Rails and Selenium next week for a different client, and
I'll be going flat out for at least all of June.
This code should probably invoke the watcher scripts using ruby -S.
Right now, it assumes the watcher script is in the same directory as
the test, which is sloppy.

if $0 == __FILE__
title = ARGV[0]
keys = ARGV[1..-1]
# $stderr.puts title, keys.inspect; $stderr.flush
Watcher.after_seeing(title).send(keys)
end
