Hello Sid,
Sorry for the delay in responding, but since you weren't subscribed to the
list, your email got caught in the administrator box, which I hardly ever
check.
A terminal is a Unix concept. The closest thing in Windows world is the
"console". You don't need a terminal to use Ruby. The only reason why a
terminal is mentioned in the tutorial is because in Unix you use a
terminal to get irb. But irb is what really matters for the tutorial.
Cheers,
Daniel.
