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.
