Well what I'm trying to is to pop up a Tk window and allow the user to
add some text which gets placed into the attribute of the variable
passed to the function.

So basically i have a Tk toplevel window with a text area and a button.
When the button is clicked the callback gets the text area contents and
places it into the attribute of the supplied variable and destroys the
window

I tried returning the variable but it did'nt work (and it seemed less
elegant than allowing the function directly modify the passed in
variable)
