Hi!

I've installed the 0.1.2 gem on Win XP, but I don't get anything
special (except that screwed output mentioned in this thread).

Here is my .irb file:

[code]
#IRB.conf[:AUTO_INDENT] = true
IRB.conf[:USE_READLINE] = true
IRB.conf[:LOAD_MODULES] = [] unless IRB.conf.key?(:LOAD_MODULES)
unless IRB.conf[:LOAD_MODULES].include?('irb/completion')
IRB.conf[:LOAD_MODULES] << 'irb/completion'
end

# load rubygems and wirble
require 'rubygems' rescue nil
require 'wirble'

# load wirble
Wirble.init
Wirble.colorize
[/code]

Also, I wanted to take a look at the page "RubyGarden "Irb Tips and
Tricks" page" linked from http://pablotron.org/softwa..., but
the link points back to your page.

I am doing something wrong?
