I have two FreeRIDE installations: at home, and in my office at U Penn. At home, thanks to advice from Curt Hibbs and Jonathan Maasland, I managed to get output from a Ruby program in FreeRIDE; by deleting %USERPROFILE%\freeride, and by setting my interpreter from rubyw.exe to ruby.exe. Also, happily, the "Run process in terminal" switch works: checked, output to DOS window; unchecked, output to FreeRIDE window. None of this works at U Penn. No output, either from 0.9.5 or 0.9.6. Both systems are XP. Any more suggestions? Thanks, Dave <rant>It shouldn''t be this hard to get output. And I shouldn''t _ever_ have to look for it in a DOS window.</rant> Sorry, had to say that.
