Shoes and Watir

Hi I’m trying to write an interactive watir script that prompts the user
for input.

First I tried to call a “shoes” script from within my watir script, but
that didn’t seem to work

system(‘shoes prompt.rb’)

Then I tried running my whole script via shoes, but that had issues
finding the watir libraries. From what I read it seems like I need to
add the watir libraries to the shoes/lib directory.

However, I’m wondering if there is an easier way, I just want a script
that will pop up with a “please manually fill out this form field”
message every now and then.
