Subject: Re: Newbie Question. eval.rb variable scope issue

If you installed cygwin (+bash) just alias irb to the /ruby/irb.bat or 
wherever it resides. In irb you can really dump-test ruby code quickly.

"who got interested in Rails an decided to check out
Ruby."

I think you should give ruby a good chance, so to understand it.
Often people that use rails end up learning ruby (at least understanding 
the syntax things), and IMHO its better to know how the core concepts of 
ruby work, how to write your own classes, modules methods etc..


Btw instead of
  print line + "\n"   # WJR change
you could just do
  puts line
