I am using datetime_select to get the date and time from the user to execute a certain program (details unrelevant). What I need to do is to take certain parts from datetime_select and manipulate/use them.

Have a look in the log to see how it is being passed in the params. If you still can't work it out break into your code using ruby_debug and have a look at params to see what it consists off. I think you will find that schtime is inside schtask in the params hash. If you have not used ruby_debug have a look at the rails guide on debugging.

I've looked in the log and the parameter passed is schtime(3i). I tried doing @day = @schtask.schtime(3i), but the RadRails IDE is not reading the parenthese and 3i as part of schtime. I'll try ruby_debug...
