The Ruby breakpoint package is a great "debugger"
What you do is add code like this:
require 'breakpoint'; breakpoint
And then when that line is executed, you get dropped into IRB at that context.
Install breakpoint thus: gem install ruby-breakpoint
When you use this technique to definitely don't want to be using F5 to run your scripts in Scite.

Thanks for the input, all. And I see your point, Mark. I'll have to get more comfortable in Windows non-UNIX command line.
So it sounds like the preference is for editing with SciTE (or editor of choice) and execution from the command line. I think my environment needs some work.

You can type:
Cmd
Echo off
Cd \ruby\bin
Irb
Ruby code here
But this is just a command window inside SciTE. It is a much better experience via a command window. If you want an IRB window inside your editor, download the latest version if FreeRide and it has one built in.

Fair enough, Paul. Lemme spill my guts.
I'm using Ruby 1.8.2, Watir 1.4.1, and SciTE 1.59 on a Winserver 2003 with SP1.
To see the problem:
- Start SciTE on Windows.
- Select Tools > Run irb from the menu system.
- Type into the command window provided.
Each character entered it displayed twice. Guess what this is?
rreeqquuiirree ''wwaattiirr''
Makes you wanna start a command prompt!
Any known workarounds? I like the near-IDE SciTE provides.

Hello Eli, there's a lot of information you didn't offer to allow us to help you better.
What version of Ruby are you using (so we know the version of SciTE)? What version of Watir?
How are you executing the scripts? Which "input chars" are being echoed? Can you include a sample of your code and the corresponding annoying output?
Help us out a bit here. ;-)

Greetings, Rubyists.
Ruby newbie here with an SciTE question.
How do I stop SciTE from repeating my input chars in IRB?
I can't figure out which bit to flip off but it's got me crazed.
The suggestions at http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/143959 didn't solve it.
adTHANKSvance,
