my original post contains exactly what I'm trying to do.  I just can't
believe that Jifty would be designed to make someone jump through that
many hoops.  I have to use the dispatcher just to pass around id's that
I would like to use as hidden form elements?  Is the issue that I'm
trying to do so using a page region/fragment?  Shouldn't I be able to do
all this stuff just using mason templates?  You can do just about
anything in the <init> block that you can do in the dispatcher right?
The tutorial is incredibly misleading if that isn't the case.
