       Shoes  is  a  very  informal graphics and windowing toolkit for making simple graphical applications written in Ruby.  The shoes command is
       used to run these applications.	If no application is given on the command line, a file browser will be opened to let you pick  one.   Sup-
       ported file types are .rb, for plain Ruby files; or .shy, for compressed Shoes YAML archives.

       This  program  follow  the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`--').  A summary of the options sup-
       ported by shoes is included below.
