This sounds exactly like what I'm looking for, but when I tried it...

% ri String
No ri documentation found in:
      /usr/local/share/ri/1.8/system
      /usr/local/share/ri/1.8/site
      /Users/james/.rdoc

Was rdoc run to create documentation?

So I tried:

% rdoc

Which scrolled a lot of source files.  Unfortunately, it didn't change 
ri's response.  What am I missing here?

Thanks.
