I didn''t follow all of that very well, but I think your question boils
down to, "How do I change the text of a label?" If that''s the
question, you change it using the text accessor method, e.g.

    @header.text = "Contents of file " + new_filename

Note that you don''t have to create a new label every time, and in fact
that''s sort-of a wasteful thing to do. Better to just change the text
of the existing label widget (as shown here).

P.S. Please consider subscribing to the fxruby-users mailing list and
