Subject: HELP! irb doesn't work in Windows XP :(

Hi everyone,

I started playing with Ruby after the famous
onlamp article about rails.

Now I have a problem with irb, it just doesn't
work. :(

Let me explain, I've installed Ruby in a Windows XP
Home Edition(french). my laptop uses the swiss-french
keyboard layout. And all programs are able to read
the keyboard without problems except irb!

If run in the console, it isn't able to read AltGr+key
combinations, that i need for {}[] among others. If
I run it inside the Scitilla editor, every key is processed
twice. So a becomes aa, b becomes bb and so forth.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Paulo
