Many updates to the rwdtinker project.

http://rubyforge.org/projects/rwdapplications/

Worked on updating the shell programs to work with the framework. Had a lot of problems getting the shell scripts running on my Linux machine correctly. Finally used the backtick method of passing shell commands from Ruby to the operating system. That seemed to work the best to capture the output of the command so I can print it to the browser window with RubyWebDialogs.

Tested shell commands and rwddemo on XP today. It is gratefying that the just work. After I did all the development on Linux. Now if only I had a Mac to test it on.
