Okay, so it looks like getting the ole "breakpoint" working isn't going to happen. Everyone seems to just push for making the switch over to "ruby-debug". I've decided to go with the flow, but have to say that I feel like I'm giving up a lot. The nice thing about a breakpoint was it dropped you into the IRB where you could interact with your code by entering in code that is immediately executed bringing back the results. With ruby-debug, this doesn't seem possible. Why aren't more people upset about the switch? Am I missing something? Thanks, Tom
