Ruby on Rails

Thanks for your response.

What I am still not getting is where I should have the rails gem
installed?  In my root "work" directory I need to be able to run
"rails new projectname". So that creates a new directory "work/
projectname" ... but using rvm the rails gem is not in this directory
when I make a .rvmrc for this project.

It just seems odd to me to have to keep doing gem install rails... I
feel like I am missing something?
