Thanks for the tip ...   Another question:

When I write an  xxx.rb program in Notebook and try to run it, the cmd 
window will not stay open.  On earlier versions of Windows you could make a 
.pif file to control if the window stayed open or closed, but in XP it seems 
they have taken that away.  I looked up all the commands and opening 
perameters I could find and can't seem to find one that will cause the CMD 
window to wtay open after the program runs so I can see the results.  I 
either need to do that, or redirect the output to LPT1 so I can see what I 
did.  Does SciTE allow you to read in and run a program from a file?

Thanks !

Van!!
