works with the following in controller:
def edit():
                try: thispage=db(db.page.id==request.args[0]).select()[0]
                except: redirect(URL(r=request,f='index'))
                form=FORM(DIV(TEXTAREA(_style="width: 98%;", _name="wikibody1",
_id="wikibody1",_value=thispage.body)),INPUT
(_type="submit",_value="Save"))
                if form.accepts(request.vars,session):
                        thispage.update_record(body=form.vars.wikibody1)
                        response.flash="form accepted!"
                else:
                        response.flash="form is invalid!"
                return dict(form=form,page=thispage)

BUT I'm having trouble as the Nicedit representation does not show on
refresh, I can show it on
a non nicedit view using {{=XML(page.body,sanitize=True)}} in HTML but
not sure what to add in above controller to allow the same
functionality??

Also the response.flash="form is invalid!" code runs when I load the
above edit view, that must mean it is submitting form on page load,
which I do not want!

I would like to add that I would be keen to offer my services to
Document this little journey of discovery for others :)
