Thanks for your response. What I am still not getting is where I should have the rails gem installed? In my root "work" directory I need to be able to run "rails new projectname". So that creates a new directory "work/ projectname" ... but using rvm the rails gem is not in this directory when I make a .rvmrc for this project.
It just seems odd to me to have to keep doing gem install rails... I feel like I am missing something?
