Thanks....that seemed to work. I get:

irb(main):010:0> load 'c:\ruby4rails\99bottles.rb'
=> true

The book then tells me to create a new instance of Wall and feed it the 
number 10, which I do here:

irb(main):011:0> other_wall=Wall.new(10)
=> #<Wall:0xe0371a0 @bottles=10>
irb(main):012:0>

I'm wondering why I don't get the program to run and count the 99 
bottles of beer starting with 10 in this case?

thanks for the quick replies

(I checked the errata for the book on the website and there is nothing 
listed at all for this chapter)
