You have to put string on the screen and use "print"
print "Hello World!"
Brandon Barrette

print "Hello World!"
which will not end in a new line character (which means all text afterwards will stay on the same line) Then there is
puts "Hello World!"
This has a new line character so only "Hello World!" will be on that line. Notice that:
print "Hello World!\n"
(where \n means newline) is equivalent to
puts "Hello World!"

Brandon Barrette
