13th Oct: Released new ruby_launcher.rb and shows_countries_new.rb
          This new version needs no local data files (i.e. forpc101-7c.html)

To do list:
- If the following Shoes feature works well, use it instead of the way launching from ruby.

  Shoes.setup do
    gem 'mechanize'
  end

The OLD version:

Usage is:
- run Countries/shoes_countries.rb with Shoes
- open the ask_open_file window
