Rich,

FYI I tried to switch to the stock FXRuby scintilla.rb myself a few 
months ago. This file is also generated automatically from the .iface 
file and like I thought it would be a much better idea to really on 
the file delivered by FXRuby.

However I remember that I ended up aligning our FR 
scintilla_wrapper.rb file rather than adopting the stock scintilla.rb 
becasue there was many little things that were different in the FR 
file (e.g. some additional processing on return values to make them 
more "ruby", method names different,etc.)

So I can look into this if you want but I don't know what to do:

a) switch to the stock FXRuby scintilla.rb file?
b) align once again our scintilla_wrapper.rb file with fxscintilla 1.49?
