That's one of the advantages of using a real programming language like
Ruby.  You can go along using Watir, but when it's time to telnet, you can
use Ruby's 'net/telnet' library, too:
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/telnet/rdoc/index.html

Likewise database connections, SOAP clients, etc., Ruby has all sorts of
useful libraries.

Watir is good tool for web testing, but during testing, usually there are
a lot more things to do other than operating the web browser. It may be
telnet to another machine to execute some commands, or just exec some
command on the local machine.

Some person mentioned about application map(
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03439.html), and
that's exactly what I want the test to be.

the test table will look something like this

test,       win         object            Action
 Arg                            #header

T,    googlewin,  SearchField,      set,             "PickAxe"
T,    googlewin,  SearchButon,     click
T,    cmdwin,      cmdwin             execCmd    "net user newUser /add"

For operations on the IE browser, it's easy to implement this kind of
testing, since there is already a class Watir::IE in the Watir lib, but for
the command window, I don't know whether there is a class that can represent
this, or how to implement such a class.
