Subject: Re: sending irb session to a file in windows

Thanks, James, this is useful, although it appears that it only
retains the history of commands I enter, without the irb output
(return values, errors, etc). I'm surprised there's no way to send all
of an irb session (input and output) to a file -- if I'm still missing
something, please someone let me know.

For what I want to do (mostly, I just want to pull out snippets from
an irb session to describe code behavior), what works best for me so
far is to put the command prompt in QuickEdit Mode and manually copy
out sections to the clipboard. (I went a long, frustrating time
without knowing about this -- to turn it on, click the mini-command
prompt on the upper left of the command prompt window and adjust
defaults or properties.)

Andy
