I took the following path: START> RUN> Enter "command" and click on OK. I got a window on my desktop> Title=MS-DOS PROMPT Content=C:\WINDOWS\Desktop> At this point I tried words like: run hello.rb hello hello.rb but the message that came back was: Bad Command followed by C:\WINDOWS\Desktop> What statement should I enter after Desktop>? Thanks for your help. I seem to be learning new things and making a lttle progress. Yahdoco
