Thanks for the help!

However, I should also add that in the above example, 
distance_traveled.rb requires other .rb files sitting in the same lib 
directory.

I have no problem running distance_traveled.rb from inside lib. However, 
from another directory, when I try to run the program using relative 
path (ie. 'ruby ../../lib/distance_traveled.rb'), I get 
"distance_traveled.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- ", in 
reference to the other .rb file(s) in the lib directory.

Any suggestions for this issue? Thanks again!
