HI all  
I am trying to invoke the system commands by means of Ruby.  
I am using the ‘winsystem’ command for it, but unfortunately it is  
giving me the error  
as follows :

example.rb:2: undefined method ‘winsystem’ for  
main:Object(NoMethodError)

for the following code :

require ‘watir/winClicker’  
winsystem (“c: cd ruby”)  
#winsystem ()

Please help in resolving the error.  
Thankx in advance 🙂

just use system, not winsystem
