First, name the protoLabelInputLine something like entryLine.

But, I think I see your problem. The documentation refers to how to get the
label portion but not the text portion. To set the text portion you use
something like SetValue( entryLine, 'text, "new text"); From P. 8-14 of
the Programmers Guide. I suggest that you can get the value of the text
slot using; something := entryLine.text;

Each time the text slot changes, your textChanged script will get called.
This would be the trigger for you to go retrieve the contents of the text slot.

Also see page 7-19 of the Programmers Reference for 2.0.
