 Hi,

I don't use  SciTE, but it is probably running so fast you do not see
it and then closes.

Try this.

puts 'Hello there, and what\'s your name?'
name = gets
puts 'Your name is ' + name + '?  What a lovely name!'
puts 'Pleased to meet you, ' + name + '.  :)'
gets


Just put the 'gets' at the end.
That will make the program wait for you to enter something.
