You are not alone. RSI themselves couldn't figure it out
when they wrote the ASCII_TEMPLATE program. There they
added a text widget that you type into, and *that*
edits the table widget. Easier to edit the table widget
in this roundabout, non-intuitive way than to memorize
the particular magical incantations normally required,
I guess.

But--in any case--I'm sure I've mentioned that I LOVE
IDL at least a couple of times in the past week. And
I do. I'm just not overly fond of the table widget. :-)

Cheers,

David
