Well, therein lies the rub.  If I were to start with something in a new 
language, say Delphi for the sake of argument, I might make a form, put 
an edit box for user name and a push button, and say hello to the name 
in the box.  With something like that, I can build and make anything I 
can dream up in the language.

I see nothing analogous in ruby (yet).  I do not want to have command 
line prompts that get ever more convoluted as the app progresses.  I 
need help finding the forest (the app).  Trees (snippets and methods), I 
can make.
