Implementing a table is not such an easy thing to do if you are new  
to Ruby/Tk. It might be better to use a pre-existing table widget  
rather than try to code one yourself.

There is a table widget in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/tkextlib/tktable.rb (on  
Mac OS X -- path might be somewhat different path on other platform).  
There are examples of using this widget at

<http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgibin/cvsweb.cgi/ruby/ext/tk/sample/ 
tkextlib/tktable/>

I have not used this widget myself, so I can't give you any tips on  
how to use it. Sorry.
