thanks! I saved the source file as UTF-8, but then the shoes console gave me three errors like this: "Invalid char '\357' in expression". A simple ruby console gave me the same error. That was with ruby 1.8, when I upgraded to 1.9, it worked in the ruby console. But apparently shoes is compiled with ruby 1.8, so no progress with shoes :( With ruby 1.9 due in January, hopefully we'll soon see shoes using it.
