I was mucking with the label pointer directly, like:
fd_try->text->label="Foobar";

This was the solution, thanks! I didn't see this function discussed in
the manual in the text box section, did I miss it?

It was dying with even a single "\n". I am sure it was just due to my
heavy-handed attempt to do it. Thanks for the help!
Now on a different topic - Is there any way to set it to NOT jump into
the next input box when entry is done in the current one? I have a form which
has two input boxes. In normal useage the 2nd will almost never be used. What I
want to do is have it leave the current box selected after calling the
callback. And if the user manually clicks into the 2nd box, as soon as they are
done in that box I want the cursor to hop back to the main input box. Any
suggestions?
