Ya, I tried that too. Same problem.
[BTW, the ! in $!sayhello is used for when you don't want to see "$sayhello"
appear in you browser, which happens if context.put("sayhello") equals null
at template rendering time]

Subject: Re: Newbie Problem: calling Turbine Actions
Try the following for your link:
<a href="$link.setPage("HelloWorld.vm").setAction("SayHello")">
Say hello:</a>
and on your HelloWorld.vm page you should have:
$sayhello
I'm not sure why you have the ! in there.
