In Scite, the output is buffered. All output will be printed when your 
program is finished. Very annoying. You can flush the buffer like this:

puts 'Hi, what\`s your first name? '
STDOUT.flush
name = gets     # note you will get a name and a newline character here.
puts 'your name is ' + name

Output will be printed in thew right pane of SciTE.
