Jayson, if your not on a real OS, you need to associate the extension
.rb with the interpreter.  It's been a little while since I've done
this in windows, but it's actually pretty straightforward.  You may
have to google for how to associate the script with the interpreter
though, as I don't recall the _exact_ steps.
