 You can browse method source code with the `show-method` command. Nearly all Ruby methods (and some C methods, with the pry-doc
 gem) can have their source viewed. Code that is longer than a page is
 sent through a pager (such as less), and all code is properly syntax

+#### Special locals
+
+Some commands such as `show-method`, `show-doc`, `show-command` `stat`
+and `cat` update the `_file_` and `_dir_` local variables after they
+run. These locals contain the full path to the file involved in the
+last command as well as the directory containing that file.
+
+You can then use these special locals in conjunction with shell
+commands to do such things as change directory into the directory
+containing the file, open the file in an editor, `cat` out the entire
+file, and so on.

+In the following example we wil use Pry to fix a bug in a method:
