Ian, you are right - typing "irb" first brought up the prompt as you described and then "puts 1+2" returned "3" !!! I'll send a note to the publisher of this "Learn to Program" book. They should totally have that in there. Wow I shouldn't be this happy about programming on a friday night but you guys are AWESOME. Thank you so much. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
