Thanks for the quick response.  There were two issues on my end.  (1) 
When building the executable, I was actually building the executable as 
such:

C:\>ocra argv.rb hello

The other things I was doing was attempting to concatenate a string to 
the front end of the argument prior to outputting it

puts "ARGUMENT: "+ARGV[0]

So basically it works now and I'm an idiot :o)

Thanks again for the help!
