I'm using RubyWin, too. I don't think very many others are. I guess they
are using UNIX/Linux.

Here's what I do. You can run a program by choosing "Run File' under the
Ruby menu. If you look in the folder called "samples" you'll find a file
called hello.rb. You should be able to run it.

You can write a program by typing code into the window named Ruby1. Try
typing the following:

print "hello World"

Then save it (choose save from the file menu.) If you save it with an rb
file extension (e.g. myFirstProg.rb) you'll be able to click on it and
start rubywin, otherwise,  you'll have to select it from the lists that
come up when you choose RunFile under the Ruby menu in RubyWin.
