I just took a program that works using a command line argument and turned it
into a class so that I could require it from .  Anyway, I was just wondering
how you would pass somethign to it now as an argument.

if the syntax of the original program was 'ruby program.rb Jason' and the
program did stuff with 'Jason', how would I go about making another program
(a GUI for example) pass along information into that program as an
argument?  I can't seem to get this to work.  I've tried variants of the
following:
psuedo code (saved as program2.rb):
'require program.rb'
b = 'Jason'
a = ClassNameInProgram.new(b)
 a = ClassNameInProgram.new {b}
 a = ClassNameInProgram.new b

If I run 'ruby program2.rb Jason', I get the same output as if I'd run '
program.rb Jason'.  What am I not doing correctly?  Hopefully I've explained
this adequately and hopefully I'm not being incredibly stupid.
