My point in asking was to try and determine if it was an issue of
ruby, 
or one of window's association of .rb files and spawning of ruby.  It

seems the latter.

Not to sound catty, but sometimes you can't get what you want, when
what 
you want is Unix under Windows.  Windows just simply isn't Unix; 
sometimes compromises have to be made. I'm not sure that that's the
case 
here necessarily.
