Subject: irbrc location under windows

Hello,

    Where does irb look for the irbrc file under windows? I tried
c:\ruby\bin\.irbrc etc. I found on the pickaxe that there is  ~/.irbrc,
.irbrc, irb.rc, _irbrc, and $irbrc. But it doesn't give any absolute paths
(same in irb sources).
    I also found

40uk.tiscali.com%26rnum%3D3 but i found no definitive answer.
    Neither with the .irbrc (or irb.rc for that matter) in the current dir
when typing irb nor with it in c:\ruby\bin is it executed.

thank you,
