That is a snippet from an Win32::OLE report I did. with is just a fancy way of saying set the following parameters for this object...

To explain this in natural language, you could say 

take my dog and{
  wash ;
  dry  ;
  feed ;
}

[download]
which would be like using a with block as opposed to 
 
wash my dog;
dry my dog;
feed my dog;

[download]
which is just setting those things explicitly. the with block is syntacticaly tyrrany I tell you !!!!!
