In IRB tips and tricks on rubygarden.org we are instructed to add some
rubycode "to your ~/.irbc:".
I searched my Harddrive and could find no file of that name nor directory ~,
nor an ".irb.hist". I'm confused!
What concept am I missing here?? Don't know if it matters, but I'm running
on WinXP.
TIA,
Chuck
'~' is a synonym for $HOME in Unix(maybe shells?). $HOME is same as
%HOMEPATH% in Windows. But you can't create any filename starts with
'.' in explorer shell. So, open command prompt, cd %HOMEPATH%, and
rename it to .irbrc or 'copy con .irbrc'.
