Oh, is that what that folder contains. I have been (kind of stupidly)
just deleting .ri and .gem in my home directory because I have my home
directory set up as a menu off the Start menu, and they always show up
as the first entries on the menu (which I don't want).

Is there a way I can get gem/rdoc/ri to keep their .ri and .gem
folders somewhere other than my home directory?

Tomorrow I will try installing a gem and look in the .ri folder.
