San,

Could you give us a little more information on this, like your system
info and a listing of the code you're trying to run?

It sounds like you have irb running, so ruby is there somewhere. Try:

ruby -v

just see which version of ruby you have and that it will respond at
all. Then type your program in Notepad ( I'm guessing your on Windows
) or some other editor and save it in a file myprogram.rb. Then you
should be able to:

ruby /path/to/myprogram.rb

And let us know what the result is, error or whatever...
