Thanks a lot guys. Derrick, /usr/bin/ruby is right. So I edited the file 
with Ubuntu's text editor, added #!/usr/bin/ruby (with the pound sign) , 
then saved it.

Went back to shell prompt. Typed:
chmod 755 Dungeon_interactive.rb

Got this:
chmod: cannot access `Dungeon_interactive.rb': No such file or directory

Does my ruby file Dungeon_interactive.rb being in my THUMB DRIVE have 
anything to do with it?

Thanks a lot!!!
