Subject: ruby-debug: 1) @-sign,  2) v i <object>

Hello,

when using ruby-debug ( _not_ the standard debugger coming with Ruby),
I cannot get the @-sign typed. Is there a way to get it typed?

I'm using:
- a German keyboard
- Windows XP pro
- ruby-debug 0.9.3 (running it from cmd)
- ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]

When switching Windows to US-keyboard, @-sign works, but I have big
difficulties getting for exampel those brackets [  ] . (Additionaly, I
would be very slow in typing on it...)


Another thing, how does:

  v[ar] i[nstance] <object>

work? - When using the exampel of Brian Donovan, slightly modified:

    class My
      def fib(n)
        @fib_cache ||= [1, 1]
        @fib_cache[n] ||= fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
      end
    end

    my = My.new
    puts my.fib(20)

and set a breakpoint, continue and enter "v i My", I do not get
anything. .

Thank you!

Axel
