John any chance you could give me the quick and dirty instructions on how to
create a patch for the code?  I've used CVS a lot etc, however I've never
made a patch file, and I assume that can only be done in linux?

I got working what I was trying to do, what I ended up doing was if you look
in the ColumnTag class it only displays the contents of the body of the tag
if the property attribute is empty.  I changed the prioritization of the
actual cell display, now it goes Body, Property, Empty.  As opposed to
previously Property,Body,Empty.  I can still sort and do everything else
associated with the property attribute, but the display will be based on
body if that is specified.
