A dialog box came up with the word OPEN: I entered hello.rb and the ruby program ran as before. However. I still have the same problems: The screen disappears quickly. The letters are white on a black background. I tried this method. I clicked on the My Computer Icon. Next I clicked on the Control Panel Icon. Next I clicked on the Display Icon. A dialog box with several options came up: Background, Screensaver, Appearance, etc. I clicked on Appearance. Many options came up. I changed the Active Window option to get a black letter on a white background. However, when I ran the ruby program, the results were the same as before. Any other ideas? --nextPart8205412.KGkst25PES Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBG3b5jCHB0oCiR2cwRAi2eAJwIUwv40Gktv6ybpwzi74YmKBtkLQCfQn1E yn/ANguxcf1W85W2dsmJowo 2v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart8205412.KGkst25PES--
