Subject: irb problems on one-click windows installer

Hi,

I have a couple of students that use Ruby in a course and they've run 
into a problem that is not my home ground since I don't run Ruby from 
the one-click installer. But maybe some of you have seen this problem:

After installing the latest one-click installer irb works from the 
standard windows command line prompt (cmd) but they say they cannot use 
curly {} or normal braces [] so cannot try out code easily.

Can this be a problem with the one-click installer irb or is it their 
windows setup?

Any hints appreciated.

I've been trying to get them to install cygwin and run from their but 
they are stubborn... ;)

Thanks,

Robert
