hmmm... I was thinking that if I have 3 scripts running at the same time
with -b switch they would get confused at which window to talk to.

I set my $ie in a generic way in setup script which is than later required
by each test.
like so...
$ie = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)

so it attaches to IE that I am working with (and there is always one) ....
but now I want to run more instances of IE at once (I hope that's possible)
I thought I need to clearly specify, perhaps by unique handle which one to
attach to.
I am sure I am missing something... or making false assumptions about
execution.
gonna dig more...
