Hi There,

I’m quite new and don’t know where to start.  
I would like to write a script for my own, with popup (see :  
[http://tryruby.hobix.com/](http://tryruby.hobix.com/) type help 5)  
But when I start irb and perform : require ‘popup’ it doesn’t find  
anything.

so I downloaded a popup.rb from the web and placed it in  
c:\ruby\lib\ruby\1.8  
It still cannot find anything? I need some detailed steps here how to  
proceed…

Thanks in advance,

Foppe

The popup library is very specific to TryRuby and will only work in  
it’s environment, sorry.
