Hello tony,

ts> in tcl/tk you can use this to create a button

ts> button .b -text "quit" -command {exit}
ts> pack .b

ts> i'd really like something like this for ruby (off the top of my head):

ts> class  quit_button < button

ts>        def initalize
ts>            button_text("quit")
ts>            self.show
ts>            placeongrid()
ts>            # you get the idea
ts>        end

ts>        def button_text(t)
ts>            quit_text=t
ts>        end

ts>        def click
ts>            app.cleanup
ts>        end
ts> end

Inheritance just for the purpose to add callbacks/configuration
already proved to be wrong a long time ago. The only framework which
tried this was self, but as self is OO without classes it's not
comparable.

From the length of your example you should see where the problem is.
