Hi,
The Docs say that Windows Users are out of luck with regards to
the .irbrc - this isn't true. Simply define an environment variable
called IRBRC and set it to the full path of your irbrc (e.g. "C:
\Documents and Settings\<username>\_irbrc"), and presto, .irbrc for
Windows.
There is also another way by setting the HOME-Var, but that has
potential Issues if you're using msys/cygwin.
And you can also call the file ".irbrc" on Windows, but you'll have to
save it via a text editor or something, because the Windows Explorer
won't let you create a File with a . in front.
regards, Markus
