User Prompt as a pop up - not IRB/command line?

[Mmcolli00 Mom]

Has anyone heard of Ruby containing a popup window prompt for users? I
do not want to use IRB command prompt for my users. If you have heard of
this or are using it, what is it called/ how are you using this? Thanks.

There are several approaches, for simple things these seem good to me:

There are various options - check out zerenity, for instance

Or kdialog if you are in kde.

http://rubyforge.org/projects/kdialog/

Looks like an unmaintained project though. (Never used it myself.)

Other options:

- old-fashioned tk

- run as a daemon, and have users point their web browser at localhost.
Then you can build your app using a web framework (from something as
simple as sinatra to something as big and powerful as rails; there are
lots of other options in between)

If it is KDE, you can use the kdialog command line program or the KDE:ialog
class in Korundum.
