TkLabel.new(top) { text 'File:' ; pack('padx' => 15, 'pady' => 15) }
@text = TkVariable.new(right) do
   TkEntry.new(right, 'textvariable' => @text).pack('side' =>

Wow... You wern't jokin'
Your root definition should look something like this

root = TkRoot.new('title'=>'Homework#4')

or you can set the title after the definition like this

root = TkRoot.new()
root.title('Homework#4')

Just about everything in RubyTk follows the same hash-like pattern.
This should give you a better start.

My mistake. I had never seen the attribures in the curley brackets the
way you have them. Guess I will have to defer my expert opinion to
someone else.
