Thanks Martin+Matthew
for your answers!!
(Matz's answer wasnt very helpful)

literals_rdoc is installed within ruby, but I cant access it with ri
( ri literals # doesnt show anything )
How can I display that?
How can I display a(ny local) ri file?,
ri doesnt allow a file as argument.

Thanks
Berg

It was incredibly helpful. He advised you to think before you ask questions. Sage advice if you ask me.

They indeed are (without any sarcasm),
as long as you ask the right questions.

Regarding your original question:

ri is certainly *not* an adequate tool to learn the basic Ruby syntax,
(neither is expecting personal tutoring from the language creator).

You should get hold of a good book or search for decent tutorials.
See www.ruby-lang.org for a starting point, or search the ruby-talk
archives for reading suggestions.

Regards,
Marcus

Hello,
I know ri isnt useful to learn the language basics; but this has nothing
to do with what I wrote --- The only short technical question was:

How can I display a(ny local) ri file [directly]?, ri doesnt allow a file

as argument.

Thank you
Berg
