Subject: Re: Another require question

Let's assume I know nothing.  Though I thought I understood this 
dilemma, I'm now lost.  I've been studying like crazy, bought a book, 
and even have even written a program that pumps out html pages with 
webrick, but I am still hung up on some basic items.

For instance, this line fails:

puts math.sqrt(234)

it outputs this error:

"undefined local variable or method `math' for main:Object (NameError)"

this line fails:

f= file.open('c:\cher.bat') # similar error message as above

these lines run OK:

f= open('c:\cher.bat')
d= f.read()
puts d
f.close()

I installed 1.8.6 (path level 111) on XP Windows with the one-click 
installer.
