I suspect that wanting stuff from non-ruby files available to ri was
stupid. If I had a dozen gems each with a README.txt, how would I tell
ri which one I wanted? I need rdoc output to see such information and
that is provided without problem.

I'm sorry for any trouble I have caused and am grateful for your reply
since it set me on the right lines.
