ruby script\generate model Entry  
which I am running from an MS Dos prompt is not working. It was 10  
minutes  
ago before I stopped the server.

ruby: No such file or directory – script/generate (LoadError)

What did I do wrong?

make sure you are in the Rails application that you created’s  
directory.

e.g.

c:\rubydev\rails\myapp\>ruby script\generate model Entry

note.  
There should be a script directory under the myapp directory.
