I got that working with a small change in the main:
def main()
# Open google index page, and send a right click to the logo image
#~ br = Watir::IE.new()
#~ br.goto('http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/
permitted-prohibited-items.shtm')
#just because I kept running it over and over without closing the
browser...
br = Watir::IE.attach(:url, 'http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/
prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm')
br.bring_to_front
br.link(:text, 'Click here').focus
br.link(:text, 'Click here').right_click
# Then, bring up the properties menu (works with IE6, at least)
br.send_keys("R")
#the number of 'downs' changed from IE6 to IE8, so I used the r which
opens the properties. This shows there is some versatility in it.
#~ br.send_keys("{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{DOWN}{ENTER}")
br.send_keys("R")
