Ha.  I'm the one who said it was well-discussed.  If the problem is
still what it used to be (something between SciTE and stdin), try
adding this to the top of your source:

  $stdin.sync = true

I got that from the same thread I said this was well-worn territory:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/101677#223367 (For some reason, I
couldn't find that thread in Google Groups.)

Have you tried that?

HTH,
