[TxMt] how to call CocoaDialog from Ruby?

In my Ruby script which is called somewhat indirectly, I tried saying
`CocoaDialog blahblah` but it didn't work; evidently the indirectness means
that I'm not inheriting some path trickery from TM. So I changed it to this:

`#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/bin/CocoaDialog.app/Contents/MacOS/CocoaDialog
blahblah`

That works. But is there a better way? Thx - m.
