I tend to think editing tabular data is a task for a different program. 20 real numbers of a similar length are probably fine in Vim. But throw in a couple of fields where the length varies and keeping track of columns across lines gets to be a real task, wrapping or no. I'd like to see an acme-like environment for editing tables. (I know, "Quit talking; start coding.") Micah
