May I ask why 'ruby.exe example1.rb' when 'example1.rb' alone is 
sufficient?
beginner here =) no knowledge whatsoever.

i'm using windows xp, what i do is:
c:
c:\Ruby192\Practice (that's where i keep my sample program)
then type example1.rb
and it works exactly like the 'ruby.exe example1.rb'

but I was just wondering why you suggested that.  is it a conventional 
way or something?  I'm still not sure why ruby.exe exists in the bin 
folder, I find testing programs in command prompt a lot easier....and i 
don't feel like using SciTE.exe (text editor) either....
