I discovered dabo a couple of years ago (version 0.9.2) and played with
it for a while but never actually got to grips with using it.

Since then I have learned some more Python for various reasons and now
I've come back to dabo with a specific requirement.

So, I have downloaded and installed version 0.9.4 in my xUbuntu 10.10
system and it's all working well so far.  I've used the AppWizard to
create a dabo application to access the (very simple) database that I
want to deal with.

Finally to the question - is it possible to have a form/view of my table
that looks like the Browse tab view of the table but allows me to edit
(and add to) the records in place?  I want especially to be able to
create a view of the table that shows the records and columns exactly as
in the Browse tab but with an extra blank row/record at the bottom into
which one can simply type the next row's values using the TAB key to go
from column to column.  Ideally I'd like to be able to edit existing
records in the same manner (except of course that initial values are there
already) but that's not so important.

Having to click on each value to edit it is much too painful and the
ability to see the preceding records as one adds a new one is also very
important for this particular application.

So is it reasonably simple to do such a thing in dabo?
