	The version of Ruby that I have, from Debian IIRC(it's been a while)
	has a complete book, htmled, as the documentation.  It is called
	"Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide".  IMHO this
	book is _excellent_.  Take a look at:
		www.rubycentral.com/book/

(I don't want to get into a war here<g>; I posted recently on the
great Cooper book on bash scripting, and I own two Perl books as
well as of course K&R and Harbison&Steele; I even own Tcl/Tk for
Dummies!<blush>)

Best wishes

Alan
