It seems a lot of us use command line Ruby because they consider it
*faster*. :-)  I guess Greg considered it a bit too heavy weight to
use an IDE for "hello".  Btw, the OP specifically asked how to make
Ruby print "hello" from the command line - so "use an IDE" is not
exactly an answer to _that_ question.

Kind regards
