Hi,

I'm relatively new to Ruby and haven't programmed in a while and am  
trying to get back  into a good programming habit.

In the reference:  http://www.caliban.org/ruby/rubyguide.shtml#ri

it states that, in irb, if you do 42.<Tab> you get a list of all the  
methods that pertain to the class 42, a very useful function, except  
that it doesn't work on my system (Mac OS 10.4.10, and ruby 1.8.6 and  
irb 0.9.5(05/04/13)  -- Note the date on irb!)

Also, when I do ri I get a list that ends with (END).  I can't find a  
clean exit from it (ctrl z seems to be the only thing that works),  
but it leaves, using ps, a suspended process.

How can I cleanup all of this?

Thanks.
