Subject: Re: 2/24 = 0?; or, how do I add hours to a DateTime?

Thanks Wannes & Robert--that clears things up for me.

I wasn't actually aware of the Time class--interesting.

So here's a follow-up question.  I understand that if I want to, I can
inject (is that the right word?) my own methods into standard
classes--so I can add my own add_hours() to DateTime if I like.

Let's say I liked that so much I wanted it available forevermore.  I
assume I wouldn't want to edit DateTime.rb (I'm probably not empowered
to do so, actually).  Is there some way to get custom code run every
time I hit the DateTime class?  Or every time I fire up the ruby
interpreter?  If yes, how about adding the info on my new method to ri
and rdoc--would that be doable & if so, how?

Thanks again!
