Maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick on this, but I get it to  
work like this:

==========================

a = ["a-value","b-value", "c-value"]
b = [10,30,15]

def header(names, widths)
   header = ''
   names.each_with_index do |v,i|
     header += v.rjust widths[i]
   end
   header
end

p header(a, b)

==========================

Hope this helps.
