From: mosar Date: 2007-03-09T17:20:23+09:00 Subject: Input syntax I have tried this little program taken from rubylearning.com site: puts "In which city do you stay ?" city= gets.chomp puts "The city is " + city At the right part of the Scite window I get >ruby Dhomp.rb In which city do you stay ? >Exit code: -1073741510 I get another window which should be the so-called output window (black) in which I should be able to write the name of the city. But I can't write in. The window's name is:C:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe. I suppose that this is not the correct one. Thanks for your help. mosar
