The Text Widget

[Ali K]

I want to know how to write inside a text widget from inside my program.
The following code didn't work.

def enterPress:
    comm = input.get()
    history.insert(INSERT, comm)

here input is the entry widget from which i am gathering my data and history
is the text widget i am trying to write to.  This code adds some text into
the textbox, but not on a new line.  How do i get it to do that?
