Tony,

Sorry I meant to have the Copy string inside the button widget of course:

\define foo2bar()
<$button>
<$action-createtiddler
   $basetitle="$(newtiddler)$"
   tags={{$:/temp/newtemplatetags}}
   text={{$(sourcetiddler)$!!text}} />
Copy
</$button>
\end

<$vars newtiddler=bar sourcetiddler=foo>
<<newtiddler>> <<sourcetiddler>>
<<foo2bar>>
</$vars>

Cheers,
Xavier.
