When you start irb (I-button > Rails Applications > Open Ruby Console Window) you cannot type in some special
characters like @ { } and the like. This is because an environment variable is not set at all.

The user-side solution is, to create a new environment variable INPUTRC:
- go to Windows Desktop or Explorer
- rightclick on the My Computer icon
- select Properties
- tab Advanced > button Environment Variables
- System varibles: button New
- Variable name: INPUTRC
- Variable value: C:\my_InstantRails_path\ruby\bin\inputrc.euro
- close and reopen the little InstantRails window

Hope you can fix this for a next release...
thanks for your great job!
