pls do forward it sir Massimiliano.

I just wanted irb to be fully helpful (like inserting ri into it). Btw, I
notice (or maybe I just cannot find it) that the doc used by ri isn't in
text form. I would like to modify the text/doc itself so that it would be
_friendlier_ for us here. Eg, I could include comparison on how a certain
ruby code would be done if using rpg (right, the old ibm rpg)... This is
good for introducing ruby to us.
