Hey,
In Ruby, constants are identified by a capital letter at the beginning of its name, and that is why a NameError exception is raised.
If this Objective-C constant is available to you, I don't think it would be available as a local variable in MacRuby.
Maybe MacRuby encapsulates this data in a class somewhere - I have no idea - Sorry :-)
Thanks,
Rob
