Subject: text tag configuration in rubytk

In the following code snippet I am trying to configure a tagged field
in a text widget but cannot figure out the syntax for the command.
The rubytk_en site seems to be down permanently so I have to ask
here.  None of the other online documentation goes deep enough to
cover this topic.

      month = Calendar::Month[k-1]
      text = sprintf( "  %3s %02d   :   %s\n", month, d, @@diary[j][i]
[2] ) 
      $w.insert( 'end', text )
      entry += 1
      colour = Coding[Codex[code]][2]
      $w.addtag( 'zib', "#{entry.to_s}.14", 'end' )

What I wish to do is translate the Tcl command

    $w tag configure "zib" -foreground $colour

to rubytk.  Any pointers?

I found the addtag method by trial and error but that approach did not
work for configure; i.e. there is no configuretag method.
