Hi, first a note. I’m a new user who downloaded instant rails for  
win32, jedit, agile rails, and started working through the tutorials.  
I can’t believe how well it all works. Fantastic.

I did run into one problem, which according to someone over on the  
jEdit side of things, must be to do with Ruby.

I quote: “Does ruby have an unbuffered output mode like python does  
with its -u option?”

> From jEdit’s console, I typed “ruby script/generate scaffold product  
> admin”

Instead of outputting text so that I could see that a Y/N answer was  
required, all I saw was jEdit’s “running man” icon running  
indefinitely. Realizing the operation couldn’t possibly be taking  
such a long time, I correctly surmised it was waiting for Y/N, so I  
typed “y enter y enter” and suddenly the entire buffer was output to  
the console window.

Does anyone know how to fix this? The console is great because  
runtime bugs can be linked to lines of source code, and I don’t need  
to have a secondary floating crappy win32 command prompt running  
around.
