Subject: integer method question

Hi, all.  I'm just learning Ruby and already I've come across a situation
that I don't understand.

In irb, if I type:
   2.upto(5) { |n| print n, "-" | }

I expect to see:
   2-3-4-5-

but instead I see:
   2-3-4-5-2

Why does the initial value get tacked onto the end?  I'm running ruby
1.6.6 on Red Hat 7.2, irb version 0.7.4.

Thanks in advance for help/answers   :-)
