Thanks again all.. so that you know your efforts wern't in vain I think 
I learned a thing or two.  The rough code (still needing debugging about 
as much as I need sleep) is below.  I have a high level of confidence 
that I will find the typo or missing end to make it work when I wake up 
in the morning.

require 'enumerator'
if Dir["#{$script_dir}data/"].last != nil
        script_data_dir = "#{$script_dir}data/"
end
build_hash = Proc.new do |type|
	type_hash = Hash.new
	file.open("#{script_data_dir}#{type}.dat", "r") do |file|
		file.each_slice(2) do |key, value|
			type_hash[key.chomp] = value.chomp
		end
	end
	$type_hash = type_hash
end
data_files=Dir["#{script_data_dir}*.dat"]
data_files.each do |name_of_file|
build_hash.call(file.basename(name_of_file, '*.*'))
end

VR,

Joseph
