thanks, gents. i don't mean to waste fellow coders time. I am new to
ruby (installed it yesterday) and i thought something was wrong with my
interpreter. Now i think something is wrong with my keyboard. I find
that in most of  my code, a problem is usually traced to somewhere
between the keyboard and the chair .
