I couldn't find anything in the Ruby technical docs that would help me *create* a pop-up window. Can this be done with Ruby? Do I have to make a call to a _javascript_ function to do this?
You definitely don't want to create a _javascript_ popup window. They stop browser processing and thus would undermine your objective.
You can use Ruby to create GUI's of all kinds. The Ruby FX library is probably a good place to go if you really want to do this. But realize that to create a message box that doesn't block, you will have to create event-driven, multi-threaded code.
Personally, i think the right direction is to follow Zeljko's suggest that you use "puts".
Another thing you can do is just to puts dots (".") as you progress as a sign of life. This is already what test::unit does.
