If you just want to make sure that you can run that book example, here 
is a quick low-level solution. In a terminal, run:

  echo 'puts "Hello World"' > hello.rb
  ruby hello.rb

Alternatively, you can run:

  ruby -e 'puts "Hello World"'

As for your program editing troubles, I suggest having a look at the 
Ruby garden (skip down to the "Ruby development environments" section):
