Hi Mauricio,

1) it seems that fri does not implem multiple queries yet? eg

C:\temp>fri upcase downcase
---------------------------------------------------------- String#upcase
     str.upcase   => new_str
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Returns a copy of _str_ with all lowercase letters replaced with
     their uppercase counterparts. The operation is locale
     insensitive---only characters ``a'' to ``z'' are affected.

        "hEllO".upcase   #=> "HELLO"


C:\temp>

yet

C:\temp>ri -f plain -T upcase downcase
---------------------------------------------------------- String#upcase
     str.upcase   => new_str
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Returns a copy of _str_ with all lowercase letters replaced with
     their uppercase counterparts. The operation is locale
     insensitive---only characters ``a'' to ``z'' are affected.

        "hEllO".upcase   #=> "HELLO"

-------------------------------------------------------- String#downcase
     str.downcase   => new_str
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Returns a copy of _str_ with all uppercase letters replaced with
     their lowercase counterparts. The operation is locale
     insensitive---only characters ``A'' to ``Z'' are affected.

        "hEllO".downcase   #=> "hello"


2) also, can we allow a -T for fri (since some do like pager while others like do not --sometimes. i prefer piping and teeing and all output in one :)


C:\temp>fri -f plain -T upcase downcase
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/optparse.rb:1381:in `complete': invalid option: -T (OptionParser::InvalidOption)


3) it would be nice if queries (if possible) may return related topics. eg, something like, "Related methods: capitalize, downcase, upcase, trim, ltrim, etc...". This is very good for noobies like me. this may be quite a hard work since we may need an index.. 


thanks for fri. it really is fast even on mswindows.
kind regards -botp
