Here's a simple one right from the tt2 examples directory:

   [% buttons = [
       { link => 'buttons.html', text => 'Buttons' }
       { link => 'menus.html',   text => 'Menus'   }
       { link => 'tabs.html',    text => 'Tabs'    }
      ]
   %]

   [% PROCESS splash/menu %]

Basically they're (I think) a lot like OI widgets.  They package
up a look/feel and wrapper around specific page elements.  I haven't
done a lot with them.  I think OI may override the expected TT
load paths, so I started by symlinking them to the OI doc root for
starters.  I got partial results -- missing images.  Maybe the
INCLUDE/PROCESS overrides OI has are getting in the way?

Since I had (ahem) other problems, I'm not sure where this really
stands now.  I need to start my experimenting over and watch what
I type.  8-)
