Sorry about that.

ruby -v gives
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-11-06) [i386-mswin32]

ruby -r tk -e "p Tk::TK_PATCHLEVEL" gives
"8.3.2"

Your suggestion to use option_var.trace('w') worked.
Thank you very much!

I'm using the latest version of the Windows one-click installer.

I'd like to stay away from building Ruby myself if possible. Since the trace
workaround you suggested is doing what I need, I think I'll wait for a future
version of the one-click installer to get a newer version of ActiveTcl.

I'm looking forward to the English translation of your article.

Thanks for your help!
