I should have guessed :-). Are you planning to convert all of the stuff that's currently in the ri database into RDoc format? That would be pretty groovy! Currently, I use the GTK frontend to ri for almost all my lookups, popping over to PR when I can't find something in ri. If everything ended up in RDoc format, I'd be a very happy boy !! Mind you, I also like the search facilities in the GTK frontend to ri. Hopefully, there'll be some kind of overall index or a search tool for RDoc? Just airing my wish list :-). H.
