Hi all,

I am learning how to create my own gems today, but I have not been able  
to find out how to configure the gem to accept configuration arguments.  
If that didn’t make any sense let me show you what I mean

In my gem I have a base class:

Module MyGem  
class Base  
def do\_thing

end  
end  
end
