Hi,

I try different formats and these are what I get:


C:\Ruby\self>irb
irb(main):001:0> File:file?(ruby.rb)
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb):1: parse error, unexpected '(', expecting $
File:file?(ruby.rb)
           ^
        from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> File.file?("ruby.rb")
=> true
irb(main):003:0> File.file?('ruby.rb')
=> true
irb(main):004:0> File.file?("ruby1.rb")
=> false
irb(main):005:0> File.file?('ruby1.rb')
=> false
irb(main):006:0> File.file?("ruby-1.rb")
=> false
irb(main):007:0> File.file?('ruby-1.rb')
=> false
irb(main):008:0>

It seems Ruby only see ruby.rb as a file but not ruby-1.rb or ruby1.rb 
as a file under XP
