Subject: shebang - what's the point?

I've written a few hundred scripts now, and not once have I ever coded a
shebang line.  I'm writing on both Windows and the Mac (Tiger).

Any time I'm kicking off a script from the Command Prompt or in Terminal
on the Mac, I simply type

ruby <name>.rb

and it works just fine.

So, when it comes down to it, what's the point of the shebang line?

Todd
