Terminal widget crashes: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

[Peter2121]

According to the document https://github.com/gcla/gowid/blob/master/docs/Widgets.md :
The terminal canvas implements io.Writer allowing a client to write ANSI codes using this standard Golang interface.

I'm trying to send something to a terminal widgets, adding the following code after

gowid/examples/gowid-terminal/terminal.go

Line 284 in b14cbf6

})

		_, err = t.Canvas().Write([]byte("ls -lisa \n"))
		if err != nil {
    		panic(err)
		}				

The application crashes as follows:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x88 pc=0x553546]

goroutine 1 [running]:

OK, I see, the canvas is not created yet here.
