Where dit you enter "ruby calc.rb"? In "Start/Run Command"?
Well, it did exactly what you said. It runs the command.
Nothing wrong with that.

But if Windows is faster than your eyes (it's hard to imagine,
but keep trying...), you should open a DOS-box in which you
enter the same command. This DOS-box stays alive untill you
close it by hand (or untill Windows thinks it knows better...).
