Re: Ruby Noobie needs some help

OK, Thanks everybody i am getting a good insight to how Ruby works
now. "each" instead of "for this in that:blah", "$" instead of
"global", "@" instead of "self". I am starting to like these
shortcuts. Ruby may be more worth while than i had initially thought.
i am beginning to believe :).
Thanks Robert, Philip, Tim, Luis, Brab, Nicholas.
