Hi, Lyle.

According to the documentation on http://www.fxruby.org/doc/api/, the
only methods available in FXId are:

create   created?   destroy   detach  

but it does have an attribute called "app". I guess when you say to use
the method getApp you're really saying to use this app attribute which,
as you explained here, is inherited by FXWindow. Am I right in thinking
so? I'm just asking because I couldn't find ANY method named getApp
neither on this documentation nor on the documentation for Ruby core.

Sorry if these questions are boring, but I'm new to Ruby and FXRuby, and
I want to understand it very well, in order to use it in depth.

Thanks,
