Here's a sample using Form2 that Neil put out:
http://mail.mems-exchange.org/pipermail/quixote-users/2003-October/001998.html

If you compare that to the forms.ptl in the Quixote ../demo directory,
you'll see that its quite a bit less magical than the other.

I used to find it tricky using the OptionSelectWidget and/or other
approaches to dynamically change forms; found it easier with the new
approach. And I think the new approach is easier to grok for someone
coming to it fresh as well.

I've built up some forms now using Widgets seperately as well as using
the Form2.Form class, and so far no surprises.
