Does this other file in "H:\Ruby\Practice\" refuse to run at all:

C:>Documents and Settings\me> my-script.rb
'my-script.rb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file

Or does it run but raise an exception when it tries to run the code that
opens the text file you mentioned? I ask because I suspect this is an
issue of your "current working directory" being different and the fact that
you are opening this text file using a relative path name.
