You may also find the resources at http://www.ruby-doc.org/ useful, if you haven't checked that site out already. Specifically, the online version of "Programming Ruby", known affectionately around here as the Pickaxe (because of its cover). Its reference on 'gets' may have explained the problem (and may save you a bit of time in the future). Keep in mind, though, that it's about four years old, so certain sections can be out of date. Don't worry about it too much, though. If in doubt check out the API pages, which should always be mornin' fresh. Sam
