Try double-clicking in the cell prior to trying to change the value. Then it
works, even if it is non-intuitive.

Please don't submit. Write nasty e-mails, make obnoxious
phone calls, and DEMAND your rights to software that works
(approximately) the way you expect it to. Only way the rest
of us are going to get what we deserve. :-)
Cheers,

Thanks -- it is helpful, but also makes me feel vaguely like I'm being
hazed. After suffering IDL documentation and Labview documentation, I am
prepared for any punishment. I submit.

Uh, I'm working on my book, but search the comp.lang.idl-pvwave
archives at Dejanews for "General Purpose Structure Editor" for
a lively discussion of the pros and cons of the Table Widget. :-)

P.S. My advice: contact RSI technical support for the magic
formula.
