Forum: Ruby scite - F5 command not working for code execution

I am learning Ruby from scratch using a beginner's tutorial. I have
installed Ruby (via installer) on my WIN 7. I have also installed SciTE.

Trying to run the following code

Puts gets
Sea

When I hit F5 the code does not execute in the right pane. Instead DOS
prompt pops up but with no text, no way to enter text, and the curser
sits
in the top left corner and flashes.

Can anyone please advise?
Thx

hi Piotr,

  i also use SciTE, and i like the convenience of the F5 button, but as 
far as i have found SciTE doesn't work with the #gets command...  just 
run your program in a terminal.

You need to save your program before trying F5.
