Subject: very simple question

Bewilderer, tired beginner, here.

Executing this, in Arachno Ruby IDE -

print 'process ' + filenm + ' (1) or all files of type ' + filetyp + ': '
pf = gets

I get -
1. nothing for my print statement - control just passes right past it.
2. a "Exception: Bad file descriptor" out for "pf = gets"

I don't understand why either is happening. Can someone clear this up for  
me?
