Looking into ruby source, especially io I found that the correct place
for getw method seems to be a Kernel module.

# Extending module Kernel with new methods.
module Kernel
    def getw
        getc + 256*getc
    end
end

if $0 == __FILE__
    puts "Brej veðïr, statkâúi!  HledùÎ do trubky: " + " a vidùÎ:"
    puts ARGF.getw
end

it works for me.
