Installing ruby on a windows XP computer

Ruby

Dear Ruby U.

I have been installing Ruby on my windows XP laptop. I just started
working
in Chris P.'s book. I get into trouble using the command ‘gets’ . The
dos-window (as I call it) doesn’t seem to want to disappear?

Can anybody help me here?

Could you rephrase your question?

A little guide how to ask questions the smart way can be found here:

My guess is: You are using ruby.exe to launch your scripts. Try using
rubyw.exe.
