Hi all,

As I learn more about TW, I am coming into more contact with its core 
structure, but I still don't really understand it. What is the difference 
between action widgets and messages, in terms of how they are handled and 
how they can be used?

My usecase: a unit planner app, which is essentially a program that manages 
a bunch of different lists. Currently, I have action widgets called 
<$append> and <$remove> which add or remove a tiddler/tiddlers to lists in 
other tiddlers, but I am starting to think that those might be more 
appropriately implemented as messages.

Here's why: I see that I can dispatch a message within the Javascript code 
of a widget, but I don't know if I can call a widget from inside another 
widget (or if that even makes sense in TW). So I guess my specific question 
is: does it make more sense to define common list operations as messages so 
that they can be dispatched as necessary in other, more complicated widgets?

Thanks,
Pat
