Thanks again Morton!

The code was written off the top of my head into the email (which would  
explain the syntax errors, honest!) but the conceptual error is probably  
where I was having the problem. I’m still a ruby nuby and my coding  
ability is somewhat immature… As such any help and criticism is  
welcomed and vastly appreciated!!! How else am I to learn?!

I also followed the Tk “Stopwatch” recipe in the O’Reilly Ruby cookbook  
and came across the timer before, however they used TkAfter instead of  
TkTimer.

Thanks again for all your help - I will keep you all posted on the  
progress (if you’re interested of course)

Thanks

Gem

TkTimer and TkAfter are one and the same. TkAfter is an alias of  
TkTimer. Use whichever name you think makes your code more readable.

Sure, keep us posted. I’m always interested in people’s adventures  
with Ruby/Tk.
