the actual top lines are

ruby -Sx "%0" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

for win9x, and

ruby -Sx "%~nx0" %*

for win nt, then some codes at the bottom. I don't understand what
"%0" or "%~nx0" actualy do. Care to explain? As for
"C:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe" from your snippet, I think the OS should find
it cause it's in the search path without specifying the absolute path.

TIA
