Hi,

I’m working my way through the examples in Shoes documentation  
accessed through a link in the open Shoes2 console.

I saw the example code:  
ary = [‘abc’, ‘def’, ‘ghi’]  
ary.each do |item|  
puts item  
end

I put that into Test.rb,  
ran Shoe2 Test.rb  
and got an empty console.

I decided the code should have been enclosed a wrapper. as follows:  
Shoes.app do  
ary = [‘abc’, ‘def’, ‘ghi’]  
ary.each do |item|  
puts item  
end  
end

That didn’t work, either. What am I missing.

Thanks in Advance,  
Richard

P.S. I’m running Shoes2 over WinXP/SP3

Correction:

“ran Shoe2 Test.rb” should read, of course:  
“ran Shoes Test.rb”
