Please Shannon, although most people on the list don't mind answering a
whole bunch of newbie questions, it pays at times to turn first to the
manual before posting. Its right there in the Pickaxe, and in numerous other
places. IRC might also be an appropriate venue for spur of the moment, no
research required questions, but an archived mailing list with an immense
volume of postings certainly isn't.

(from Ruby and Microsoft Windows chapter, pickaxe: "In these cases, you'll
want to use rubyw.exe. It is the same as ruby.exe except that it does not
provide standard in, standard out, or standard error, and does not launch a
DOS shell when run. ")
