@p That makes perfect sense. (screenshot[0] of, what will be my diagnostic code going forward :D. Ruby doesn't seem to have a keyword to stick all the new stuff into its own name space. So I am going to set that aside for now, and actually get some stuff painted to the screen... or procrastinate xD)

Though I did wonder if the * in your version had special meaning (screenshot[1]). I pulled up some language cheatsheets, but didn't see anything about it.
