Thanks, works great!

Small suggestion though, maybe you can use rubyw instead of ruby so that
it can run independant of a console (command prompt) on Windows?

Is it possible to specify this for a rubygem?
If you use the .tar.gz file, you can rename the file fxirb to fxirb.rbw,
then you should not get a console window when you doubleclick it.

Suggestion: When you announce an update to a package, take advantage of
this opportunity to inform the rest of us about it! Put a few lines
saying what your package does.

Sorry, I really should have done this:

FXRI is a FXRuby Interface to RI, that supports search-on-typing. FXRI
is a small little program, that tries to provide the desired information
as fast as possible. It also includes fxirb, an interactive ruby shell.
