Re: David Wright's question about searching tables.

    I played with this a bit and most of it is not too hard. Just change
search.c so it will also search table records. Most of the existing code
will just work (DoSearch, FindContext, GoToSearchResult). The big problem
is putting the proper part of the table in the display window. Search
would have to keep track of the row and column the match was found in and
the DrawTable routine would have to convert this to Co-ordinates for the
fullscreen form. Once the co-ordinates are know it's a simple matter to
display that part of the table.

    Rhis would be quite a bit of work. Would it be worth it??
