Subject: Suppress result output in irb?

Hi,

Is there a way to prevent irb from printing the result of a  
expression to the terminal on a command-by-command basis?  I'm trying  
to use irb and soap4r to play around with a SOAP server and in many  
cases the results are fairly long arrays; I'd like to be able to  
prevent these from being displayed automatically.  IPython, for  
example, will suppress the output from a command if it's terminated  
with a semicolon (';').  I was hoping for something similar in irb.

Thanks,

Tom
