You're very welcome. :)

Hi Tim,

> Could you point me toward the section on that page that discusses Vim executing Ruby commands?

At the top of the link (http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?VimRubySupport),
we have this:

"If you install Vim 7.x, the following Ruby support is enabled out of
the box:

syntax highlighting for Ruby and eRuby
automatic, smart indenting for Ruby and eRuby
compiler plugins for running Ruby, eRuby and Test::Unit
IntelliSense-like autocompletion (Vim 7 only) "

As has been mentioned if we enter

':help ruby'

Then 'Ctrl ]' on the 'ruby-commands' tag we get:

':rub[y] {cmd} Execute Ruby command {cmd}'

This indicates to me that we could go:

':ruby puts "OK"'

But I receive 'command not available in this version.'

I think it may have something to do with the runtimepath. Has anyone
got Ruby working within VIM?

I was thinking of trying Emacs.

None of the above involves Vim executing Ruby code directly.
The most the above items do is invoke the ruby executable from
within Vim.

The :ruby command requires +ruby support compiled in. Check
your :ver output and look for the '+ruby'. It needs to be
a '+'. If you see a '+dyn/ruby', you must also have
a compatible ruby library installed on your system. (I haven't
had much luck personally with dynamic language interface support
in Vim. YMMV.)

Yes. On 3 platforms. Both with binary download, and built
custom from source.

Please do. You should always experiment with your choices
whenever possible. But why would you mention this in c.l.ruby?
