First of all, thanks for your response.
Yes, I did try things like 'help puts', but all I get are these error
messages:
-------------------------------------------
irb(main):032:0> help puts

No ri documentation found in:

Was rdoc run to create documentation?

I use Ubuntu 7.10, and I have already installed rdoc. I don't
understand
the error message much but it seems I have to do something else to
make the help command work. Do I have to install ruby source and run
rdoc through them?
