Okay, now that's funny. Thanks for the laugh, Scott. :) (I assume that 
was intentional?)

To the OP, you can determine your rails version by doing "gem list 
rails". If you are using the latest version of Rails, you can do 
--help, but you still can't use the rails tool to determine the rails 
version.
