FWIW, I'd like to see the console (and any other generally-useful tools) included in the MacRuby release. The fewer hoops a newbie has to jump through, the better chance that s/he won't get Tired of the Whole Thing and bail out. In the meanwhile, I've taken an initial swipe at creating a HowTo for getting and using Antonin's Console project: https://www.macruby.org/trac/wiki/MacRubyConsoleHowTo After typing "2 + 2" into the irb session, I kinda ran out of steam, but I will try to get back to it RSN. In the meanwhile, feel free to contribute and/or correct... -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume rdm@cfcl.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Technical editing and writing, programming, and web development
