It looks like this code is supposed to go in the application.dryml.  With 
some massaging, it does recognize it.

<extend tag="form" for="Blacklist">
   <field-list: fields="identifier, bulk_add">
      <batch-entries-view:>
        <textarea name="&bulk_add_list" value=""/>
      </batch-entries-view:>
   </field-list:>
</extend>

I added an empty method in my blacklist.rb model called bulk_add.  This 
seems to invoke in the "New Blacklist" page.  (Is there any reason I should 
have expected that?)  And there is a label that reads, "Bulk add (Not 
Available)".  Was there possibly something really obvious that I might have 
missed?  (read newbie here)

Thanks again,

Dan
