I rewrote that command and to be honest I just didn't think about  
it.  I apologize.

Ruby 1.8.0 was released in 2003, so it's been the standard for a  
pretty long while now.  Apple just didn't catch up very fast for some  
reason.

Nine times in ten, if you just change the inject() calls to use each 
() and an external Array that will do it.  A quick look shows that I  
didn't seem to use it this time though.  Figures.

I no longer have easy access to a 1.6.8 install, but if someone who  
does wants to mail me errors and checkout the current bundles as I  
try to fix them, I'll see if I can port it back.  If you want to do  
this, email me off-list.

Sorry again.
