    Yes. I do plan to support this. It is not so different from doing
    headers/footers. There are a couple of ways to do it and I haven't decided
    which way to go yet.

    First things first though. Next step is to stablize the current code
    (which crashes on exit with a table loaded) then fix up all the
    poitioning, clearScreen and cursor motion bugs.

    Then do the break across page feature.

    Then implement a GUI to control the various aspects of
    inserting/changing/cutting/pasting tables.

    Then do the common row I think.

    Lots and lots of work.

    Cheers

    Martin
