Hi Alex

The newJournal macro does pretty much what I did with the newTiddler
macro. Both create a new tiddler in edit mode. However, what I want is
for the new tiddler to be created from a form, have certain tags, and
be shown in view mode. The newTiddlerWithForm macro does this but
unfortunately does not have a way of specifying tags during the
tiddler creation.

Cheers
Andrew Mc
