I have found just the same thing myself.. You can use SciTE to write
the ruby program, and do make sure you give it a .rb extenstion, and do
make sure that you save it before running it. But when is comes to
running it you should run it from inside the command prompt, not from
inside sciTE. If the program has no lines in it using gets then it will
probably run in SciTE, but if you are using  gets then run it in the
cmd prompt.
The other interesting things are :
1 what if you want to put the ruby program in to a part of rails, and
where and how to do this..
You can put ruby code into parts of rails but you should surround the
ruby code with <%= and %> I think, and of course you must have a ruby
server running on the machine that you have the file on, otherwise no
ruby code will be interprested at all!
