don't use puts for debug.  use the debug function
 somevalue = "hello world"
debug(somevalue)

Cmd-/ (command forward slash) opens the shoes console that will display your
error messages.  Check out the shoes manual too.  It tells about the many
other shoes logging methods, etc.

As for supporting all of ruby... I'll say yea mostly. In terms of being able
to run system commands and the like you are fine.
