I’ve never used the ruby Win32OLE libraries, but I’m thinking of writing  
some scripts that may need them. Basically what I want to do is write  
some scripts that search through the current window hierarchy and find  
certain windows and then send messages to those windows to imitate  
clicks and keystrokes. Does anyone know if this can be done with the  
libraries in their current state?

Thanks,
