At least I know my postings are going to the outside world. Maybe you can help me with this question. For argument sakes, lets say that the problem I have seems to be in method preprocess of module Net::Telnet. I need to get a solution for my script. I don't think I want to modify the $PREFIX/lib/ruby/1.8/net/telnet.rb directly. I would want to 'override' the standard version with mine. How would I do that?... would I just add to my script something like Module Net class Telnet def preprocess (string) copy of the orginal method with my few lines of changes end end end Thanks, Dany >
