Running my piped scripts by explicitly invoking the ruby.exe interpreter fixed the problem. I'm a relative newcomer to the Ruby news group so I haven't seen the past articles re: cmd.exe. I would have had no idea where to start looking. Thanx Bill for your prompt and accurate response and to everyone who pointed out my newb coding errors. Cheers! Clayton.
