Ton, thanks for your help. I have followed your instructions and the button appears and a new template is created, but the problem I have is trying to understand the concept. How do I save this as a template that I can use time and time again. It creates a new template every time and calls it $_new-Template 1. The problem is that if I re-name the title from $_new-Template 1 to the title I want in the tiddler I want, when I click a link from another tiddler to bring the template up, it doesn't.
All I am trying to do is create a new templated tiddler from a link inside a current tiddler. Then I want that tiddler to be a template time and again. But if i rename it I lose the template I'm struggling to understand the concept.
