Thanks.  That works fine, and it's quite helpful.

Concerning the second part of my original query: has anyone already
come up with a way to unify the viewing of the gem docs with "ri" or
some other similar utility, so that a user doesn't need to know whether
or not a package is a gem in order to see its docs?

Thanks again.
