rails command version pegging?

Hello,

Is it possible to declare the version of Rails used with the seminal "rails /path/to/my_app" command?

For example, I now have 1.2.1 and 1.1.6 installed on my machine. If I run "rails my_app" I get 1.2.1 produced skeleton code. Is there a way to get 1.1.6 results?

Regards,

Andy Koch

I don't know if there's a better way, but one that seems to work is to use the script in the gem itself rather than the one that rubygems creates.

ruby `ruby -rubygems -e "puts Gem.path.last+'/gems/rails-1.1.6/bin/rails'"` NAME

It looks to me like gems doesn't support multiple versions of executables, only libraries.
