Subject: "myscript.rb " - there's a blank in my name!

On a Mac - Tiger 10.4.10.

I wrote a ruby script in TextWrangler (2.2.1) and saved it.  I
inadvertently hit the space bar after the ".rb" and saved it.  Then, not
realizing a blank got added to the name, I attempted to run it and it
could not be found.  After messing with it, I realized the blank was
saved as the third character after the "b" in .rb.

Running

ruby myscript.rb

failed.

Running

ruby "myscript.rb "

worked.  Is this a Mac thing?  I've nevver know a blank character at the
end of a file name to be significant.
