Hi everyone,

I’m trying to run WIN32OLE.codepage= in ruby 1.8.2 but get a method not  
found error. How should I access the same functionality in ruby 1.8.2?

Since I’m using watir and wish to use the modal\_dialog method, I can  
only work with ruby 1.8.2 (see  
[http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?messageID=17202](http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?messageID=17202)).  
I also need UTF8 in WIN32OLE so it’s vital for me to call that method  
somehow.

Thanks,  
Idan.
