I'm assuming tab completion. _why had brief instructions for this,
I haven't tried so I couldn't say if they work.

Okay, here?s what you do to get tab completion working in Windows. Download this. A zip with two files inside. These get copied into your Ruby installation. Place readline.dll in the bin folder. The readline.so goes in lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32 folder.

Then, run in your command shell: irb --readline -r irb/completion.

And for Europeans, you?ll need this. Save it as .inputrc and place it in your home directory. (Your personal directory which contains your Desktop and My Documents folders.)

I have general file/directory tab completion working. It's fairly
simple to set up (there's a registry entry someplace, though I tend to
use TweakUI or something like that when I have the choice).

I seem to recall a thread on getting code completion in irb, so I
thought perhaps Shashank was referring to that.

Yes, I meant tab completion in irb. Jim Freeze had shown it to me while
at RubyConf. But it was linux or Mac, I forget. I tried to get it work
on Windows but was not successful, not knowing where to keep the .irbrc
file.

And that I have working too.

Code completion would be an added bonus ;-)

With ruby-mingw on win2k, tab completion worked for me out of the box.

interesting, did you ever had the (many times reported) problems that
people are experiencing with the mswin build? (i.e. random crashes)?

No, but it doesn't mean much, as I use it very rarely (just for
testing my scripts on Windows, or for simple tasks, ones for which you'd
use shell under unix -- this latter is also very rare, as the only thing
I use Windows for is testing my ruby scripts, and scanning).
