Well, I'm sorry for not waiting an hour or two and consolidating all my
comments.

Wow! That is a really nice feature! The links to ruby-lang and rubycentral
are a nice touch.

Is that on the *nix distros too?

Is there some way that the help menu button could provide both Ruby help and
SciTE help? (I know I could just fire up my own browser on the html doc file
in the SciTE release directory, but it would be nice if what I presume was
the native built-in SciTE docs were still available as such.)

Anyway, thanks again, Andy and Dave and AWL.

I really like this "Ruby information at your fingertips" trend, and hope it
profusely proliferates as additional documentation resources become
available.
