Could you please post the error message that you get when you click on 
'open'? It's hard to know what's happening otherwise. Also please say 
what platform (eg Win XP) and version of wxRuby you're using.

Lastly, please show the code you've written to open the initial window 
from Ruby.

There shouldn't be any problem having any number of different dialogs 
and frames in a single project. I have one (using DialogBlocks) which 
has at least 10 separate top-level windows.
