So TkText's don't have textvariable's.  They sore their own text
(actually more than just text as it can contain widgets, colors,
different fonts, etc.).  Think of TkText and TkCanvas as being
similar.  Wheras TkText and TkEntry are not.

require 'tk'

root = TkRoot.new
t = TkText.new(root)
t.insert('end',"Hi, here is some text!\n")
v = t.get('1.0','end')
print v + "\n"
