Good Morning John,

you havent build the jar-file yet. The directory listing you show is the
srcdistribution from sourgeforge.
rails.sh is in there because its needed and will be put into the release
file by the build process.
What kind of IDE do you use or plan to use ? eclipse ?

If so and you have it installed switch to the ant-view in eclipse add
the build.xml from the root-src-directory and run build project or build
release. This should lead to a directory named rails-1.9.x or rails-2.x
to appear :)
Inside that directory you'll find another rails.sh this then should
start rails from the commandline.

if you want to work without an IDE you need to have "Apache Ant"
installed to work with the provided build.xml in the root directory.

Kind regards,
Martin
