The documentation page on the Ruby website (http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/) has numerous tutorials which should be able to help you out with most of the basics. If you have installed ruby correctly it should be as simple as saving the file as MyFileName.rb The file name doesnt have to be the same name as the class name or anything, though it would be useful for larger programs that implement various classes. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
