Thanks Jeff,
Praise be to Pull Tools =)
.

.
I thought I was being clever to add another directory
parallel to templates/app (templates/display). I
wanted turbine to find the screen in display/screens
(after adding this to path in TRprops) and use
display/layouts/Default.vm so I wouldn't have to have
a crapload of layouts, but it didn't behave that way.
So, I'm putting
$data.setLayoutTemplate("/DisplayDefault.vm") in my
screens in that dir (unless I need a specific layout).
Any comments?
