Ruby/Tk Some Basic Questions

[Zach Dennis]

Hi,

I'm playing with Ruby/Tk and I've got the Perl/Tk book and some other
text/online documentation to go along with. I am wondering if there is a
major difference between TkRoot and TkWindow and it might be. In all of the
ruby examples folks use TkRoot and assign all widgets to it, but the
TkWindow still exists. So why use one over the other?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Zach
