Subject: newbie scope question

Hi,

Thank you answers to my previous question(s) !

Why does this not work?

doc = File::open("my.txt")
    class Crap
              def junko
            @doc = doc
             @doc.each {|line| print line}
              end
    end
myobj=Crap.new
myobj.junko

The segment below does work - I just don't quite understand why the Crap 
object can't 'see' the txt file in the above example...

doc = File::open("my.txt")
class Crap
  def junko(a)
  a.each {|line| print line}
  end
end
myobj=Crap.new
myobj.junko(doc)

Thanks in advance
