When I was writing NewtonScript, I was never able to successfully
change the _proto slot and have the control work.

Create a new control as a newtEditView, copy all of the method code
and data items from the newtLabelInputLine, then blow the old one away.

The nice thing is that you can get the new slot working before you
blow away the old one.
