2,355 PointsHow do I toggle between the .rb file and the console view??
I have to close the console in order to code in the .rb file- both console and .rb have enough space each. Help please!

4,182 PointsWhen you type in 'irb' you enter the interactive environment. To leave the interactive environment type 'exit', 'exit irb', or 'quit'. If you typed 'irb' multiple times you may need to press the 'exit' command multiple times. Type in ruby followed by the name of the file.
To toggle between them you should just click. Possibly refresh if this doesn't work, sometimes the workspace glitches. What you are explaining is very odd, if this does not cover your issue feel free to comment with more detail.
