Hi,

Did the -i switch break on the ir command ?

I create a file test.rb with the following content:

myvar = “hello world”  
puts myvar

and then type in ir -i test.rb

That yields: (loosely translated I can’t find the file …-i )  
mscorlib:0:in `WinIOError': Kan bestand C:\projects\lumpr\src\Sylvester.DesktopEdition\Sylvester.IronRuby\-i niet vinden . (System::IO::FileNotFoundException) from mscorlib:0:in`Init’

-i was Python specific option, MRI uses this option for a different  
feature (that we don’t support yet).
