Good guess.

Sure. Some questions:

1. Can you define "still not working"? Runtime error? Incorrect result? 
No result?

2. Are you using the same SETF form?

3. Should buffer just be a string? I do not have Cells-gtk in front of 
me. If not, is the md-value of the :entry widget a string or a 
text-buffer instance?
