Subject: Re: ruby windows environment question

Let's see, when I ran beer.rb before, I used:
Ruby "d:/documents and settings/jude.dashiell.DEV/my documents/beer.rb" <cr>
I'd like to be able to do:
Ruby .\beer.rb <cr>
Or even cd rubydir <cr> and
Ruby beer.rb <cr>.
I found out if I run something like:
Ruby "d:/documents and settings/jude.dashiell.DEV/my documents/beer.rb" >beer.log <cr>
The beer.log file was put into d:/documents and settings/jude.dashiell.DEV/my documents/beer.log I didn't know where that file would land once I made it before.

I presume you mean
c:\go\file1.rb exists and you want to be able to do

c:\>file1.rb

and have it run.

)

you might be able to get it to work by once "executing it" in explorer. 
It should then show up in PATHEXT, mine is:

PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC;.wlua;.lexe;.RB;.RBW

if that doesn't work then you could write a batch file that searches the 
path, and executes it for you.
Anybody done this before?
