Hi Jon! I am familiar with IRB and 'puts $LOAD_PATH'.  I fail to see 
your point.   I still don't know what file is being required in:

require 'rubygems'

Is it the rubygems.rb in C:\Ruby192\lib\ruby\1.9.1 ?

If it is, then why is that when I cut it and paste it somewhere else 
(e.g. on the Desktop), the program which has the require 'rubygems' code 
would still run?

Thanks!
