Very nice ...
 
One question:
 
In the "Our=20 First Test" section, you=20 say:

Ruby Comments: The = require=20 keyword in Ruby looks in the ruby libraries for a file named = 'test/unit.rb' and=20 will load it in to the running program.

Is "require" a keyword (i.e. reserved) in = Ruby ? I=20 always understood it as a function which took filename as = argument.

Please correct me if I am = wrong.

Thanks,

-- shanko
