I did not want to kidnap a previous thread on the subject of .irbrc on
Windows.
On my Windows XP SP3, I have 3 Ruby installed.
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32]
ruby 1.8.6 (2009-03-31 patchlevel 386) [i386-mingw32]
ruby 1.9.1 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i386-mingw32]
A search revealed the absence of any .irbrc file.
Questions:
Is it necessary to have an .irbrc file?
What should it contained?
Thank for any enlightment you may provide.

I would get rid of the older of the two versions. This saves space and helps avoid confusion.

No.

require "irb/completion"

This is what I really like to do, but!!!
I am in the process of verifying that my applications run on ruby .
1.8.6 mingw32.
the scripts that use Firewatir have problem with jssh to control
Firefox 3.0
they run fine on ruby 1.8.6 mswin32
not a show stopper since I have Watir scripts that work with IE
Explorer
Looks like it will be a while before I can migrate to ruby 1.9.1 ...
the usual gem problem.
watir does not work on ruby 1.9.1
firewatir would work on ruby 1.9.1 with a one-line change except for
the problem with jssh.
once again, thank you for your help.
