Here is a very quick one. (Perhaps someone can dig out Sterling's example
which resizes the dragger for the contents, I don't have it on this machine)
view layout [tl: text-list "a" "b" "c" [append tl/data random 10 show tl]]

Use copy if you are assigning the "value".
view layout [f: field button "Click" [f/text: copy "blah!" show f]]
