Hi Mark,
The vocab ui.tools.inspector is already a gadget that edits tuples. Check
it out if you haven't:
TUPLE: foo a b c ;
foo new
! click foo
! click slot c in tuple so it's highlighted blue
! click edit slot, 3rd button at top
Check out that vocabulary and see if it helps. If not, I can work up a
better answer.
Cheers,
Doug
