Yes, but where is it documented?

I haven't found any documentation for ncurses-ruby or 'curses'...
but for ncurses I have the Linux manpages and the rest was guessing.

Where is Ruby's curses interface documented?

| bash-2.05b$ ri Curses
| This is a test 'ri'. Please report errors and omissions
| on http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RIOnePointEight

| Couldn't find class/module `Curses'.
| Use /usr/bin/ri with no parameter for a list
