Hi Philippe,

You've probably got this far, but to share a string between fields
just give them the same string in the layout.  ie...

>> str: ""                                
== ""
>> view layout [field str field str]

That's only half of what you want though.  I would think editing the
fields' feel/engage function would be required to get them to update
together.  See the block after 'key in engage.  Try this to see a
field's feel...

>> view layout [f: field]
>> probe f/feel          

Others will have to tell you precisely what to do there though.  Hope
that helps to get you on your way, though.
