Subject: [ruby-talk:01026] Is this a bug?


Given the following:

       � = 1 
       print �, "\n"

(where the variable is an 'a' with a grave accent), I get

       /tc/dave/play/line.rb:2: undefined method `�,'
            for #<Object:0x40197ed4> (NameError)

Comment out the 'print'line, and it runs.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but why is '�' treated
differently in the two lines?

Regards

Dave
