run irb
then type: 
require "readline"
include Readline

this should not issue any error message.


BTW, it seems that the 1.7.3 windows ruby from PragProg doesn't 
have readline enabled. Is that normal ?

irb(main):001:0> require 'readline'
LoadError: No such file to load -- readline
        from (irb):1:in `require'
        from (irb):1
