Hi Hal,

I don't know whether you're using cygwin / bash, but if you are,
adding the following line to the start of the source file works:

#!/cygdrive/c/ruby/bin/ruby -w

(Adjust appropriately, the -w is optional).

Unfortunately this is machine specific (but you could always write a
script to add/change/remove the line).

Cheers,
Gordon
