I mentioned this in another thread, but didn’t get an answer.

For me, under 1.9.1p429 (RubyInstaller) under Windows, ri File says only  
this:

## (begin) ------------------------------------------------------- Class: File \< IO [no description]

## Class methods:

```
binread

```

(end)

ri IO shows:  
(begin)  
More than one method matched your request. You can refine your  
search by asking for information on one of:

TkItemConfigMethod:: **IGNORE\_UNKNOWN\_CONFIGURE\_OPTION** [gem  
tk\_as\_gem-0.1.0]  
TkItemConfigMethod:: **set\_IGNORE\_UNKNOWN\_CONFIGURE\_OPTION**! [gem  
tk\_as\_gem-0.1.0]  
(end)

Is something missing from my Ruby installation?
