Two files inside. Place readline.dll in $RUBY/bin. The readline.so
goes in $RUBY/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32. Then, to get Irb working with
Readline:
irb --readline -r irb/completion
Or the ~/.irbrc that Raph offered will work as well.
Great... this worked!
But can you type [,],{ and }?
I don't know if this is only a problem related to windows. The brackets can only typed when irb is used without readline.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks,

I'd expect that anybody with UK or US keyboard mappings can, while those with a German one (and probably some others) can't.
(For those who don't know the German keyboard mapping: You enter '{}' by pressing Ctrl+Alt + '7890', with the right Alt key being equivalent to Ctrl+Alt.)
So it seems that readlines can't cope with Ctrl+Alt.

From a readline README:
For a standard US keyboard the built in key handling should cover
Windows arrows, begin, end and shift-insert keys. In
examples/Inputrc.kbger I provide a few extras for the German
keyboard layout.
Readline-4.0 will look for an INPUTRC environment variable. If not
found it will use .inputrc as the basename of its initialization
file. Readline will look for this file in the directory specified by
the environment variable HOME or if not set in the current
directory. If it cannot find the init file and if
registry access is enabled it will ask for the <inputrc-file> value
of the <HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Free Software
Foundation\libreadline> key. For history readline will access the
<history-file> value of above registry key if the environment
variable HOME is not set. On failure it will resort to the current
directory.
I can't seem to find Inputrb.kbger, but here's a few starting places for your German inputrc.
