The error is below. Ugh. But at least it works up to this point. I don't
know enough Ruby or Rails to know what it is having problems with. Can
anyone else assist me with this? I'm running XP, Ruby 1.8.2RC3, Rails 0.8.5.

Firstly, I'd like to say, a great IDE for a great language!
There is one smallish problem I've experienced.
When 'running' a program, STDOUT seems to be buffered, and the program
does not exit after all the user code has finished executing.
If I hit stop, I see the output, and the run exits.
Has this been seen before?

Oh, whups. The state of the todo_controller.rb file that evokes this error
is:
require 'abstract_application'
require 'todo'
class TodoController < AbstractApplicationController
helper :todo
def index
scaffold:todo
end
This needs to be:
class TodoController < AbstractApplicationController
helper :todo
scaffold :todo
end
You don't want the scaffold macro inside the index action.
Also, I recommend using the Rails mailing list for questions like these. Hundreds of Rails programmers are hanging out there ready to help.

Declare the scaffolding outside of the method, at the class level, like this:
class TodoController < AbstractApplicationController
helper :todo
scaffold :todo
def index
...
end
end
Good luck!

Are you running on Windows? There is a problem like this on windows which is
being actively investigated (no solution yet, however).

Thanks for the help Jamis!
So, I modified my code to appear like so...
···
----------
require 'abstract_application'
require 'todo'
class TodoController < AbstractApplicationController
helper :todo
scaffold :todo
def index
render_text("Text")
end
end
----------
And while it doesn't throw any errors it also doesn't provide the answer the
tutorial indicates I should be expecting. It says I should expect to see a
screen like:
--------------
LISTING TODOS
Description Done
New todo
--------------
The tutorial suggests removing the "render_text" line and replacing it with
the scaffold line, but obviously that creates an error for me... But so does
removing the "render_text" line and leaving it empty while moving "scaffold:
todo" to immediately beneath "helper: todo".

Try " STDOUT.sync = true " at the top of the script - works with RDE

Yup, thanks for the headsup

Try completely removing the entire index method. You are overriding the
index method from the scaffolding.

I wish it was that simple but it's not where the problem is 
Thanks for the suggestion though.
