Subject: FXDataTarget not updating my variable

I have the following:

    @datatarget = FXDataTarget.new(@name)
    @datatarget.connect(SEL_COMMAND) do |s,i,data|
	puts "#{data},#{@name}"
    end
    # ... in another class ...
    FXTextField.new(parent,80,obj.datatarget,FXDataTarget::ID_VALUE)
    l = FXLabel.new(parent,"foo")
    l.target = obj.datatarget
    l.selector = FXDataTarget::ID_VALUE

The label updates correctly. If it starts out as 'foo', and I change it
to 'bar' and press enter in the FXTextField, this is what is printed:

    bar,foo

But I was under the impression that a datatarget would update the
variable as it was changed. Is that wrong? If not, why is this
happening? I can of course set @name in the connect block but that seems
silly since that's the whole point of a data target, or so I thought.
