def fact(n)
        if n <= 1
                1
        else
                n * fact(n - 1)
        end
end


print fact(20)




def hello(i, aString)

        i.times {print "\n" + aString + "\n"}

end


hello(6, "success")

Once I took the plunge, it's quick progress so far!  I can change a

for now just going back and forth between the DOS prompt and notepad
works smoothly.
