We're getting closer, but using <$set> seems to introduce a problem. When I
attempt to type a title in the resulting edit-text widget, I can only enter
one character at a time. This is similar behavior as when edit-text is used
to edit a field of the current tiddler. It appears that each time I type a
character, $:/temp/newtitle is modified and updating the value of the
"mytitle" variable requires the editor to lose focus of the edit-text
widget.
Any suggestions?
