Dear Jason,

YES, I did first performed a google search, which is this:

"ruby" "menu" "ASCII menu"

and the above gave me this:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22ruby%22+%22menu%22+%22ASCII+menu%22&start=30&sa=N

As a routine, I religiously perform first a good search. I also traverse the
gems repository. Then I come to the forum.
That been said, I appreciate your answer and justin answer. I truly
appreciate your help.
It was far from my mind using gets to perform this task.

Again, thank you!
