"go to run and type in", so you're on some version of Windows? Then,
go to run and type either 'command' or 'cmd' to open your command
shell first. Then in the prompt, type 'ruby calc.rb' (depending on where
your file is saved you will need to change to the correct directory first,
e.g. 'cd Desktop' then 'ruby calc.rb').
