hi all,  
not sure if it matters, in both irb and jirb we get “(irb)”, however in  
ir  
(on 0.9.2) i’m getting “(eval)”  
i was just fiddling around with ir and didn’t expect this

[160] \> iirb  
irb(main):001:0\> **FILE**  
=\> “(irb)”  
irb(main):002:0\> exit

Looks like that might have been fixed in RC1, can you try to repro  
there?

Actually, I’m pretty sure Dotan just tried it in ir.exe:

C:\dev\jschementi\_ironruby\>rbr  
IronRuby 0.9.3.0 on .NET 2.0.50727.4927  
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

> > > **FILE**  
> > > =\> “(eval)”

Dotan, IronRuby’s console as part of ir.exe is NOT the same as IRB;  
though IronRuby does ship with a “iirb” …
