Hello,

So I am a newbie programmer just starting to learn Ruby and am reading Michael Hartl's book "Learn Ruby The Hard Way".

In exercise 0 (http://learnrubythehardway.org/book/ex0.html) , he describes the steps a person must take to get his computer to run Ruby, which includes learning how to make a directory in the Terminal, change into a directory in the Terminal and use the editor to create a file in the directory.  

I could complete all the steps successfully except step 11 --- (Use your editor to create a file in this directory. You will make the file, "Save" or "Save As...," and pick this directory). --- no idea how to do this.

Any help appreciated ...

Gengyang
