Well, I am returning to working with Ruby after being away from it for
about a year or so, and am not up to speed on more recent changes.  I'm
pretty much working with the info in the Pickaxe book (Programming Ruby).

So, if the $= variable is obsolete, can anybody tell me what is the
approved or recommanded way of doing a case-insensitive comparison of
two strings, or of getting the Array#include? method to do a case
insensitive comparison, as in:

       ["built-in-command-1", "built-in-command-2"].include? response

Thanks again.

Dennis
