I tried it, but it didn't end up working. With the viewClickScript set
to return "true", the protoLabelInputLine is no longer draggable, but
there is no text input ability either (in other words, nothing happens).
When set to return "nil" tapping on the input line drags the whole
application (which never happened before).

That might be the way I end up going.
Thanks for the help, guys. This is just one of those wierd problems that
was very unexpected, and seems like things should just work. The "Drag"
method I'm using is pretty much how they suggest to make a view draggable
in the Newton Programmer's Reference.
Ah well. It's given me some things to look into.
