For extensions that were installed as gems, "gem list" will give you a list of the gems you've installed. "gem contents {gem-name}" will give you a list of all the files that were installed for a given gem, including their location. For extensions that were not installed as gems, I believe you'll find their source under RUBY_HOME/lib/ruby/site_ruby. > An extension to this is where are the std library / core Rdocs kept or do I > have to make these too? To view RDocs for gems, run "gem_server" browse http://localhost:8808 If documentation for some of your installed gems is missing, you can regenerate RDoc for all of them with "gem rdoc --all" or generated RDoc for a specific gem with "gem rdoc {gem-name}". -- R.
