Nope the irb.bat file points to the irb file which is
in bin. I looked at the src for that. 
require "irb/main". If I specify a <filename> it
works, but if I want to run it command line without
any filename it does not. Shouldn't I be able to run
it in interactive mode from the command line?

if __FILE__ == $0
  IRB.start(__FILE__)
else
  # check -e option
  if /^-e$/ =~ $0
    IRB.start(__FILE__)
  else
    IRB.initialize(__FILE__)
  end
end


The reason why rd2 was not working was that the
Windows  installer did not create a .bat file or set
the HOME env variable.
Thanks
Karl.
