Thanks for the advice guys.. RP I did what you suggested and it seemed 
to work, although some of the commands don't seem to work (following the 
example in the book).  But I was able to list and step through the 
code.. maybe a different version of ruby-debug from that used in the 
book.

I'm moving on.. I figure I can come back to this if it proves to be 
important when I have some more knowledge.  Thanks again for the help.
