I am all ears too if there is another way except using config() or
Text['state']=DISABLED etc.
So I do use config(...NORMAL) when I want to change the text with code
and do config(...DISABLED) again when its over.  The user has usually
no way of changing the text then...unless they keep some button
pressed while the coded-text-change is running: then you can sometimes
see a few insertions!

7: The car directly in front of you has a flashing right tail light
   but a steady left tail light.
        a) One of the tail lights is broken.  You should blow your
           horn to call the problem to the driver's attention.
        b) The driver is signaling a right turn.
        c) The driver is signaling a left turn.
        d) The driver is from out of town.
The correct answer is d.
Tail lights are used in some foreign countries to signal turns.
