defining a variable from the command prompt

hello,
I have a script that sends emails out to my company, and I would like
to be able to run it by saying (from the command prompt):

sendemail.rb "this is my message"

then it would take "this is my message" and use that as @msg or
something. I know its possible, but I'm still pretty new to Ruby and not
sure how to do this.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
- Jeff Miller
