You can run the rdoc command over the Ruby source files (in some place such as C:\Ruby\src\ruby-1.8.6-p287 or whatever it is on your machine). Open a command prompt (i.e., a DOS shell), get to the C drive (or whatever drive has the Ruby source), and change to where those source files are. Then run rdoc. For example c:\> cd C:\Ruby\src\ruby-1.8.6-p287 C:\Ruby\src\ruby-1.8.6-p287\> rdoc If it complains about the output directory, you can pass in a name: C:\Ruby\src\ruby-1.8.6-p287\> rdoc --op rdocs -- James Britt www.jamesbritt.com - Playing with Better Toys www.ruby-doc.org - Ruby Help & Documentation www.rubystuff.com - The Ruby Store for Ruby Stuff www.neurogami.com - Smart application development
