Hi: I seem to recall that the exact same topic regarding ruby interpreter problems were discussed on the blind programming list a while back, but I don't remember the solution (but I think there is a solution/workaround). I suggest you join the blind programming list and ask this question there. The list can be found here: http://www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind

However I have encountered a fairly major accessibility problem with the interpreter. whenever a program waits for user-entered input, jaws completely freezes within the interpreter. If I alt-tab out of the interpreter then jaws resumes working properly, and if I give the program the input it was looking for it continues to execute as expected. and lastly, while the interpreter is not waiting for input, jaws functions just as expected within a command line envirement. I have absolutely no idea how to solve this problem from the jaws point-of-view, so I am seeking an alternitive interpreter. Are there any ruby programmers who have any suggestions that might help?
