I considered using Highline and even looked at how it handled stty 
for inspiration.  But one of the goals I wanted for this was to not
depend on any gems so that it could be installed on USB drives or other
portable storage device.  And so its only requirement for daily usage
would be ruby.

But maybe that's thinking too much.  I could easily take out the
prompting and replace it with Highline.

Although that just brings up another issue.  What's the best way to have
your personal stash of ruby gems or installation or something on a USB
drive or something like that and make it easily usable from any machine
that has ruby installed on it. 

Or for that matter, having different ruby's for different platforms all
installed on a portable drive so you can plug it into any machine and
use all your pure ruby stuff ?

enjoy,
