Maybe, I don't understand what you want. 
Did you say such like a following? 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
require 'tk'

f = TkFrame.new.pack(:expand=>true, :fill=>:both)
e = TkEntry.new(f).pack(:side=>:bottom, :fill=>:x)
l = TkLabel.new(f, :anchor=>:w).pack(:side=>:bottom, :fill=>:x)
l.text '--- mode line ---'

t = TkText.new(f){
  yscrollbar(TkScrollbar.new(f).pack(:side=>:right, :fill=>:y,
  :expand=>false))
  pack(:side=>:left, :fill=>:both, :expand=>true)
}

e.bind('Return'){
  t.insert(:end, e.value + "\n").see(:end)
  e.delete(0, :end)
}

e.focus

Tk.mainloop
