Dave, I haven't had a chance to read through the new Ruby FAQ yet, although in skimming through it, it sure looks like a tremendous improvement. I have one quick suggestion however, which is to block indent all the code sections (maybe 1/4 inch or so) . I guess I'm used to seeing this convention followed in endless programming manuals/books, so it just looks strange/jarring/odd when the text and code are aligned on the same left margin. Since the FAQ appears to be rapidly approaching book quality, how about taking the next step? Conrad
