> added things to the toplevel

Oh! Well that is obvious after you say it lol. And, I had to reference Window (which I believe is initialized as a singleton) to "add" an object, because the add method wasn't added to the top-level object.

You know, I kept thinking, "Ruby is just inferring what my code means, and piping my request to the correct object." But, that seems pretty irrational in hindsight xD

I'll take some time to digest the rest of your message :D
