I have been testing out Rails 3 beta4, but want to create a test application in Rails 2.3.8. So, i installed the Rails version that i wanted, sudo gem install rails -v=2.3.8. Now when i try to create my application, using rails myTestApp -v=2.3.8, I get the rails help screen. Looking over it, I can't seem to find the option to specify the version of rails that I want to target.
Cheers, Jason

Description: The 'rails new' command creates a new Rails application with a default directory structure and configuration at the path you specify.
Example: rails new ~/Code/Ruby/weblog
This generates a skeletal Rails installation in ~/Code/Ruby/weblog. See the README in the newly created application to get going.
