Subject: Referring to instance vars in a Struct?

I have a Struct -- then I extend the class by adding some methods. I
expected to be able to access the instance vars, but it seems I can't:

  D:\temp\rubytest>more struct.rb
  TestMe = Struct.new('TestMe', :hey)

  class TestMe
    def show_hey
      puts @hey
    end
  end

  test = TestMe.new('hey')
  p test.hey
  test.show_hey

  D:\temp\rubytest>struct
  "hey"
  nil

  D:\temp\rubytest>ruby -v
  ruby 1.6.6 (2001-12-26) [i586-mswin32]

How can I reference the instance vars from inside the class created by
Struct.new?
