Subject: auto indentation problem; little help please :)

Hi,

I'm new to ruby and irb and am hoping someone can give me a helping 
hand. Even this issue is small, it's annoying to me.

I'm running irb 0.9.5 on OS X 10.4 within an iterm terminal. I'm doing 
all this on a MacBook Pro laptop.

I've got auto-indenting set and readline support.

The annoying indent problem is, when I type code into irb, it indents as 
follows:

------------------------------------------------
gary-churchs-computer:~ gary$ irb
irb(main):001:0> class Song
irb(main):002:1>   def initialize(name, artist, duration)
irb(main):003:2>     @name = name
irb(main):004:2>     @artist = artist
irb(main):005:2>     @duration = duration
irb(main):006:2>     end
irb(main):007:1>   end
=> nil
irb(main):008:0>
------------------------------------------------

with the "end"'s not lining up below the correct upper lines (here "def" 
and "class", respectively.) In all the examples I've seen in the book, 
everything (including comments) line up correctly.

When I type in the code, at the end of a line, I simply hit "return" to 
get to the next line.

Any ideas for this minor buy annoying problem?

Thanks much,
Gary
