You could try the Zeus for Windows IDE:

   http://www.zeusedit.com/ruby.html
   Note: Zeus is shareware (45 day trial).

It does Ruby syntax highlighting, code folding, class browsing,
macro scripting, integrated version control, smart indenting,
project/workspace management etc etc.

You can even write Zeus macros using Ruby ;)
