I'm assuming tab completion. _why had brief instructions for this, I haven't tried so I couldn't say if they work. ---- Okay, here�s what you do to get tab completion working in Windows. Download this. A zip with two files inside. These get copied into your Ruby installation. Place readline.dll in the bin folder. The readline.so goes in lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32 folder. Then, run in your command shell: irb --readline -r irb/completion. And for Europeans, you�ll need this. Save it as .inputrc and place it in your home directory. (Your personal directory which contains your Desktop and My Documents folders.) ---- The original (with foxes): http://poignantguide.net/ruby/expansion-pak-1.html > James E
