hell.  Try something like text =

(assuming you're working on a mac, on windows replace macroman by
windowslatin1).

The reason is because RB defaults to UTF8 so you need to explicitly
convert it to the OS native encoding before writing it, although if
you opened your text file in a smarter editor, like Word, it would
most probably output fine.
