I dunno, if its just me, but ri-emacs seems to be broken for the time being. I choose a say F1 #=\> Array and pressing enter on any method takes me to the same page. So, I am not able to drill down into method definitions and stuff. ---

Are you using the latest version of ri-emacs? Note that the help buffer just displays the info, it is not a browser. You need to type in the method at the minibuffer (using completion if you like), just like it works for emacs lisp. There is now a mailing list: Please send your questions there. I may not be reading this newsgroup, and the discussion may be interesting for other users. You can subscribe here: [http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ri-emacs-users](http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ri-emacs-users) Thanks for using ri-emacs, Kristof ---

You can get more information about this list. Yes, I created the list just recently (because I realised rubyforge doesn’t create one by default), so naturally there are no archives yet. Please send your problem to the list address I gave above. Kristof B.
