Stefano,
Thanks, but that isn't how the Ruby interpreter works, so this is really 
a hack that may or may not work with real code.

I can just do the same thing, but if possible I'd like a 'correct' 
solution.

I've been looking at all of the Ruby Editors on Windows and am surprised 
at how poorly they handle Ruby syntax. I would never release a product 
like these.
