@unc5583 said: files look ok... i'm just trying to manually change the name that appears in sketchup You must use a plain text editor [like Notepad.exe] when opening and editing a Ruby (.rb) file. If you use a Wordprocessor it puts hidden binary type characters into the file. Usually it breaks it completely but here you seem to have just made it do weird menu entries. The menu's text entries are almost always given at the end of the script. I suspect that either you or someone beforehand has opened these scripts in a Wordprocessor ! Best to get fresh copies off here or Didier's site... .
