On my computer, anyways, I just type "fxri" at the command line and up
pops the FXRi window (with an embedded fxirb console).

If you have a lot of gems installed, it may take awhile for FXRi to
start up and be available, I think because it's having to read in all
of that documentation data and prepare it for display.

Thanks for the reply. When I type fxri, i get this error:

c:/Ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/fxri-0.3.7/lib/RiManager.rb:2:in
'require': no suchfile to load -- rdoc/ri/ri_driver (LoadError)

I checked the rdoc/ri/ directory, and I see that there is no
ri_driver.rb file, but there is a driver.rb file. I edited the
fxri.bat, changing ri_driver.rb to driver.rb didn't work either.

Wonder where I can get ri_driver.rb file.

Ah. I was trying with Ruby 1.8.7, not Ruby 1.9.1. So perhaps FXRi is
not compatible with the version of RDoc that ships with Ruby 1.9.1;
you may want to file a bug report with the FXRi developer to see if it
can be fixed.
