Thank you very much for your explanations. The help from this list is 
invaluable while learning Ruby.

I know now why this
-----
class Tobi

   def hey
     "hey!\n"
   end

   print hey

end

doesn't work.


Now I'd like to know why this *does* work:
-----
def hey
   "hey!\n"
end

print hey

Do I define a method for instances of class Object, and when methods are 
called, I get an instance of Object for free?
