Thanks.  In your code is an error.  I do not know why it work for ya.
In my script I wrote:

# Extending class Object with new methods.  It's an dirty hack.
class Object
    def getw
	getc + 256*getc
    end
end

and it works.  Thanks.  Only one thing.  the method getc is not a
method of class Object.  Looking in classes, the right Class to exted
is IO which has method getc.  But trying exted it does no work as you
can see in my firts post.
