"figure it out"

i'm productive with both komodo and arachno-ruby...i didn't need to
figure anything out. i just used it.

granted, it wasn't 2 hours before a major project was due that i fired
up one of them and decided i needed to learn them as i was fnishing up
 code...

i find both komodo and arachnoruby relatively intuitive. took me a few
minutes to get comfortable with each.

i'm sure if lothar gets annoyed enough at answering questions that
should in documentation he might release something...i'd much prefer
arachnoruby gets worked on before any time is spent on the docs...
