If you installed ruby using the "ruby install for windows", then there's 
a special CMD shortcut in the start menu which will correctly interpret 
commands like "irb" and instructions to execute a ruby file.
if you want to double-click the file, but not close immediately after 
running, then you can add "gets" to the end of your file.
