Hi,

I got an example rakefile from the webpage
http://jasonseifer.com/2010/04/06/rake-tutorial
which displays "Published: April 6, 2010 at 4:25 AM"

Below are my results from testing that rakefile in a Command window on
WinXP-Pro/SP3 running Rails 2.3.5, where Rake complained "Don't know
how to build task 'default'". How do I get it to run?

Thanks in Advance,
Richard

=== Command Window ===
K:\Temp>dir
