Subject: I need help learning Ruby; completely lost!

I need help. I need to learn some basics of programming, and was turned
on to Ruby by a friend. So I bought a book about it, installed Ruby and
Vim, sat down and made a tiny little Ruby program that should print out
"Hello, Matz!"

But, it doesn't.

I saved it as a .rb file, double clicked it hoping to see my very first
program in any language EVER come to life, and... A command prompt-like
window opened for a split second, closed, and nothing happened.

Where oh where did I go wrong? Do I need this "Rake" program to use .rb
files? Is it a problem with Vim? Please help, I'm so confused I don't
know what to do!
