not here..
i think we're not using the same version of fxruby:

C:\programs\glossary\test>ruby test.rb
test.rb:38:in `onCmdOpen': undefined local variable or method `pouf' for
#<Gloss
aryMainWindow:0x52d3c78> (NameError)
        from test.rb:61:in `run'
        from test.rb:61

i tried putting nothing in the rescue, or just a puts (before posting).

are you using some kind of development version of FXRuby? i'm testing under
windows2000 with the latest version on sourceforge. i tried yesterday under
linux as well and IIRC it didn't work either (but it was late, etc, i could
have did sth wrong).
