Hi Nobu and Simon,

Thank you both for your responses.

RUBYLIB
-------
I added the environment variable RUBYLIB as you advised me. I added:
  RUBYLIB=I:\Program Files\Ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.6
to my system, which facilitated the search for
  require 'runit\\testcase'

That definition seemed excessively detailed compared to my RUBYPATH
definition
  RUBYPATH=I:\Program Files\Ruby
so I reduced it to
  RUBYLIB=I:\Program Files\Ruby\lib
in a subsequent project and that seemed to work fine.  I trust you
agree that this is the appropriate RUBYLIB definition.

Question: Can multiple libraries be concatenated in the RUBYPATH
definition.  If so, what is the delimiter to be used on a Win2000Pro
platform? Semicolon or colon?

Unit Testing
------------
I couldn't get the test example to work, despite your generous help. 
(I'm a Ruby newbie.)  So I found a simpler example from Hal Fulton at
  http://rubyhacker.com/domo.html

Based on that, I wrote the following:

  require "test/unit"

  class Sample
	def initialize
	end
	
	def to_s
		%q[Hi, I'm "Sample"]
	end
  end

  class Tester < Test::Unit::TestCase

	def test001
		sample = Sample.new
		puts sample
	end
  end

This produced the following output (when running under SciTe on
Win2000Pro):

  >ruby UnitTestExample2.rb
  Hi, I'm "Sample"
  Loaded suite UnitTestExample2
  Started...
  ..
  Finished in 0.01 seconds.
  1 runs, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors
  >Exit code: 0

Question:  This output is a distortion from the output obtained when
running the script in a Command window.  It looks like SciTe treats
the output from the script proper via "puts" distinctly from output
from the "unit" package, so that they are presented out of order in
the output pane.

I'm happy to have Unit Tesing working, but I'd like to know the
details about SciTe so that I interpret output from future usage
correctly.

Thanks again to you both for your help.

Regards,
Richard
