Well, thank you for your response, although you could have been a bit 
more helpful, being that I am new to ruby.  After a bit of unnecessary 
frustration I figured out that I could type ruby, test out a little 
snippet and type Ctrl-D to get the results and my terminal prompt back. 
I hope I never forget what it's like to be new so I can be nicer to 
newbies that what I usually experience.
