Irb and readline

I tried

C:\>DOSKEY /listsize=0

That seems to remove the history in cmd.exe?

I was able to lower buffer size and number of buffers to 1, but it
didn't solve the problem. (The console did keep a 1 line history,
though, so this still might be the problem.)

Hi,

I have tried irb after this command:

C:\>DOSKEY /listsize=0

That bug is still there. But when I use the old command.com it's all
good. Thanks Dave for this tip !

Yes, it does - thanks.

Unfortunately, irb's readline still doesn't work, so my theory was
wrong. Oh well.

Screen buffer size:
   width: 80
   height: 999

Window size:
   width: 80
   height: 41
