Eric, that is exactly the issue, its the *behavior* of what happens when you click on a link that has no tiddler associated with it yet. I want to simply create the new tiddler and go straight into edit mode of the tiddler. Perhaps i was not quite clear when i described my situation.
I will give your solution a try, thanks for the information.
