This is more what I had in mind, but I already have something in the
right bar for my normal pages (therefore turning off the display is
not an option). I am hoping there's a way to simply substitute the
bar's content when a page goes into edit mode. That is, override the
default setting for my RightBar which is <!--wiki:$Group.RightBar
$SiteGroup.RightBar--> (from the template).  Something like the
following if there is way to script it:

if ($action = 'edit') use Site.Cheatsheet in RightBar

Or preferably, something like this in Site.EditForm:

(:if action=edit use Site.Cheatsheet in RightBar:)

Of course, what kind of syntax to use is beyond me.  Appreciate any
suggestions. Goodnight all.
