Thanks so much. Very basic stuff.
I think I'll change my name to "Rusty".

It's in the standard library (so it's included in the Ruby distribution)
but you still need to require it:
require 'fileutils'
Reading the file, I can see that it's a module.
So apparently I need to include that module, or some
such. (I've been away a while, and my chops are /very/
rusty...)
Yep, once you've loaded it with require, you can access the methods in
the module like this:
FileUtils.mv('here', 'there')
Or, if you don't want to prefix every usage with 'FileUtils', you can:
include FileUtils
and then call the methods directly.
