>=A0 ". myscript" doesn't not work for me. It doesn't read my file as a
>=A0 ruby one, althrough my file is starting by "#!/usr/bin/env ruby".

Brian is saying that the ruby script writes shell commands to a file
named "myscript" (instead of printing them to stdout).=A0 Then the shell
will source that file (instead of 'eval'-ing its stdin).
