[Wtr-general] Problems accessing modal_dialog from ruby v. 1.8.5

[Paul Rogers]

no problem.

Can you get your sys admin to give you admin priviliges on your machine. 
THis will make many things easier for you.

I think the issue with the versions is that the ole library needs to be 
recompiled with that version of ruby.
