Subject: Re: FreeRide - How to Input Data

Forgot to mention the platform being Windows XP.

Well, after hours of messing around I found that outside of FreeRIDE I 
could execute interactively by double clicking the *.rb file in 
explorer. This opened a c:\ruby\bin\ruby.ex window which allowed me to 
execute an interactive Ruby program.

Program:
puts "Please enter your first name ..."
fname = gets.chomp
puts "Please enter your middle name ..."
mname = gets.chomp
puts "Please enter your last name ..."
lname = gets.chomp
chars = fname.length + mname.length + lname.length
puts fname + ' ' + mname + ' ' + lname + ' there are ' + chars.to_s + ' 
characters in your full name!'
gets

Interactive:
Please enter your first name ...
William
Please enter your middle name ...
Anthony
Please enter your last name ...
Kiselewsky
William Anthony Kiselewsky there are 24 characters in your full name!


Take care,
Bill K.
