# worked for me in converting the files to Jekyll. 

Dir['*.txt'].each do |f|

#Testing differences between Shoes 2 and 3, Ruby 1.8 and Ruby 1.9
#In Shoes 2 (and also version 1229 of Shoes 3 that I built with Ruby 1.8) this code works
#In Shoes 3, then in ui.rb ":attach => Window" must be replaced with ":attach => Shoes::Window"
#as otherwise the error "uninitialized constant UI::Window" occurs.
