I only use the F5 (runs your ruby program) if it's a non-interactive program. On a totally unrelated note, I don't know how newby you are, but if you've never done any programming before, you might get something out of a tutorial I wrote (which, like Pinocchio, dreams of being a real book, and may soon get its wish!) http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/ Welcome to Ruby!
