good answer :)

I like the suggestion to create a batch file [say r.bat] that handles
both cases that should work well.

Another question:

Is there a way to do this from the command line?

require 2 files:

$ ruby -rrubygems -rfacets -e '3'
ruby: no such file to load -- facets (LoadError)


Also is there a way to do something like
$ ruby -e 'initialization code' filename_run_after.rb

I am just wondering.
Thanks.
