Hi. I’m reading Chris P.'s online tutorial.

From the tutorial:  
“The Ruby installer comes with a lovely text editor called SciTE (the  
Scintilla Text Editor). You can run SciTE by selecting it from the start  
menu. If you would like your code to be colored like the examples in  
this tutorial, download these files and put them in your SciTE folder  
(c:/ruby/scite if you chose the default location):”

I’ve just downloaded Ruby 1.8.7 from

as suggested by Chris P., but I don’t think there’s an SciTE included.

It isn’t bundled with RubyInstaller anymore as it was with the old OCI.  
But you can download SciTE separately at  
[Download Scintilla and SciTE](http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEDownload.html) .
