I haven't the foggiest how e works, but can you just use shoes.exe to launch the script rather than rubyw.exe? I'm sorry, but Shoes is optimized for complete beginners right now, so that they don't have to go through the steps of installing Ruby and learning RubyGems and figuring out how to install Shoes. This is very important to me. I wouldn't really compare Shoes to FXRuby, QTRuby or Ruby/TK. I would compare Shoes to stuff like REBOL/View, Squeak, Processing or NodeBox. It's a self-contained toolkit and environment, you know? _why
