  "Major mode for interacting with an inferior ruby (irb) process.

The following commands are available:
\\{inf-ruby-mode-map}

A ruby process can be fired up with M-x inf-ruby.

Customisation: Entry to this mode runs the hooks on comint-mode-hook and
inf-ruby-mode-hook (in that order).

You can send text to the inferior ruby process from other buffers containing
Ruby source.
    ruby-switch-to-inf switches the current buffer to the ruby process buffer.
    ruby-send-definition sends the current definition to the ruby process.
    ruby-send-region sends the current region to the ruby process.

    ruby-send-definition-and-go, ruby-send-region-and-go,
        switch to the ruby process buffer after sending their text.

Commands:
Return after the end of the process' output sends the text from the
    end of process to point.
Return before the end of the process' output copies the sexp ending at point
    to the end of the process' output, and sends it.
Delete converts tabs to spaces as it moves back.
Tab indents for ruby; with arugment, shifts rest
    of expression rigidly with the current line.
C-M-q does Tab on each line starting within following expression.
Paragraphs are separated only by blank lines.  # start comments.
If you accidentally suspend your process, use \\[comint-continue-subjob]
to continue it."

	Commands:
	Return after the end of the process' output sends the text from the
	end of process to point.
	Return before the end of the process' output copies the sexp ending at point
	to the end of the process' output, and sends it.
	Delete converts tabs to spaces as it moves back.
	Tab indents for ruby; with arugment, shifts rest
	of expression rigidly with the current line.
	C-M-q does Tab on each line starting within following expression.
	Paragraphs are separated only by blank lines. # start comments.
