Replace the word "default" with whatever you have set as TextEntry's default value. You can view and edit default values in the variable manager (see image).
Also, if you're planning to use these variables later in your course, you may want to give them more descriptive names. For example, "StudentFirstName" or "FavoriteAnimal" (or whatever information you're asking them to enter).
Also also, be aware that you can display these variable values with %[variable name]%. For example, say the variable StudentFirstName is set to Steve. A text box that in the editor that says "Your name is %StudentFirstName%." will publish as "Your name is Steve.". This is great for debugging and for giving feedback to the learner.
