Yes, then +TextField is fine.

To get a dynamically changing display, you could instead of passing the numeric
global '*Guess' to a '+NumField'

   (gui '(+Style +Var +NumField) "guess" '*Guess)

use the '+View' prefix to produce arbitrary content:

   (gui '(+Style +View +TextField) "guess"
  '(cond
 ((cond1)
"You cheated!" )
 ((cond2)
(pack "Guesses: " *Guess) )
 ... ) )

Something like that?

Thanks Alex. Using a NumField does indeed fix it. Considering that I want to 
display a message like "You cheated!" as well if the user clicks too many 
times, would I just use a different gui component then? I was trying a pretty 
naive wrapping of the repl interface to make the gui and thought I could pack 
it all into one gui field.

I think it is just a wrong class:

>(gui '(+Style +Var +TextField) "guess" '*Guess)

As the value of '*Guess' is a number, it needs '+NumField' instead of
'+TextField'.
