Subject: Question about using ruby and gtk to make an app

I have a question about using ruby and ruby-gtk2.  I have a simple gui
and am using SourceView as my text buffer and have added a menu to open
and save files.  My question is how in the world to I open a file and
display it within my buffer?

so far my open method is:

callback_open = Proc.new {
      p "Open is called."
      dialog = FileChooserDialog.new("Open File",nil,
                                     FileChooser::ACTION_OPEN,nil,
                                     [Stock::CANCEL,Dialog::RESPONSE_CANCEL],
                                     [Stock::OPEN,Dialog::RESPONSE_ACCEPT])
      if dialog.run == Dialog::RESPONSE_ACCEPT
        @filename = #{dialog.filename}
        file = File.open(@filename)

}

after the file variable line I have tried different things to actually
add the text to the buffer but none seem to work.  I checked the API but
I'm not sure if their is a TextBuffer method that I can use to read in
the file line by line.

Any help would be appreciated.
