Subject: ri and rdoc....like perldoc?

Hi All,

Will anyone kindly help?  I want to get my ruby docs fully functional,
meaning I can view any type of help on methods, keywords, etc.
As in Perl I can type perldoc perlop or perldoc -f chomp.  The latter
give me a whole page dedicated to perl operators and the former gives me
one page on what is chomp and how to use it.

thank u!
