Mark S., I have to confess something embarrassing. After trawling through scads of TW documentation and related internet posts, I have seen hundreds of references to opening tiddlers with notation like "$:/config/EditTemplateFields/Visibility/text", but I have no idea how to do it. Can you give me a pointer?
