Hi. I'm scratching my head over how to get BWidget working  
(specifically, the NoteBook thingy), primarily due to the poor  
documentation of ruby/tk.

Could anyone here tell me how to set up a NoteBook widget?

Thanks in advance.

Please install BWidget extension on your Tcl/Tk.  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;^^^^^^  
If libraries of the Tcl/Tk is linked your tcltklib of Ruby,  
you'll be able to call BWidget extension from Ruby/Tk.

If fail to call, please read "tkextlib/SUPPORT\_STATUS" file.
