Subject: Using 'gets' with SciTe under Win2000

Hi All,

The following runs fine in a Command window:

  print "Enter text: "
  while gets
	chomp!
	puts 'Got "' + $_ + '"'
	print 'Enter more: '
  end

But running it in the SciTe 1.41 environment with Ruby 1.6.8, I get: 

  Enter text: IO_Test1.rb:2:in `gets': Bad file descriptor
(Errno::EBADF)

I've asked about this before on this NG, but wonder if anybody has an
idea about how to make this work under SciTe.  It's my guess that
SciTe doesn't want to put a cursor in its output pane and accept
keystroke that it could pipe into the stdin stream.  Is that the end
of the story?  Is there a more appropriate NG to post this question?

TIA,
Richard
