From: Kaye Ng Date: 2010-07-27T15:43:42+09:00 Subject: thanks guys To James, I'm still on windows xp. I tried putting the calc.rb file inside the bin folder, and "ruby calc.rb" worked, as well as "calc" and "calc.rb" Is this what you guys were saying? The tutorial didn't say anything about the bin folder or where exactly to save the programs. It only said to make a folder wherein my programs could be saved, and that's what I did. But then it instructed to type "ruby calc.rb" and I got confused. I still don't understand the logic behind it. Do I have to bother with this? Do I always have to save my programs in the bin folder? Please excuse the ignorance. I'm a novice. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
