Subject: YANQ: Yet Another  Newbe question... irb

When using the irb I sometimes end up in a state where hitting enter only 
gives me a new prompt. I understand that I've (somehow) gotteninto the irb's 
line continuation mode. It seems that anything I type at this point gets 
swallowed up.   Is there some way to get out of this, without exiting from 
the irb altogether?
