[Rails] Don't Try This at Home (rails --help)

[Josh Knowles]

Ah was missing the -- infront of --help, thanks!  I kept typing rm -Rf
--help and was just getting the damn help screen :)  I'll go back to

As far as what version I'm using, I attempted to download 0.10 through
gentoo's emerge but it gave me 0.9.5, trying to figure out what's
going on there.
