Can anyone tell me the code for showing a picture in the "my pictures"
folder? Please!!
I've just started programing, so I don't so much about it.

Oh great Gandalf! Please tell us the secret code to show a picture from
the "My Pictures" folder!

I think he's trying to tell you to try to figure out the process on
your own, and come back with some ideas and a little work under your
belt.

I've been wrong before.

Pascal is being an anus. The group apologizes for him.

His point, however, is that the Gods help those who help themselves. There are
dozens of Ruby tutorials out there, and reciting them on this newsgroup will not
improve anything!

For someone recently into programming, the internet does indeed supply
an almost unlimited supply of information, uncoordinated, unrelated, and
overwhelming and certainly not helpful.

Sometimes someone submitting a simple Ruby program which does what one
needs is just what someone needs to begin understanding the process so
that he is able to use the internet information more effectively. And
certainly he is not asking someone else to do his programming for him.

RMagick is probably a good place to start for displaying messages.

I bet you could poke around and find some examples.

Thanks for the recommendation, Justin, but while RMagick can do many
things, it can't display an image on MS Windows because its display
method depends on a X server, which doesn't exist for MS Windows. So it
goes.

I'm not a Win guru, but wouldn't the simplest thing to do be to start an
external image display program like IrfanView and tell it to display
the image?

my_image = "test.bmp"
system("start /wait i_view32 " + my_image)
