I've read this thread with interest - I agree that you as the developer
should be able to decide in WHICH table you want the "add row" function to
operate and would agree with requesting this enhancement.
In the meantime, a workaround:
1. Keep your "add row" button for the region
2. The button should run an EEP called ADDROW.EXP or some such name.
3. The EEP contains these two rows:
PLAYBACK ADDROW.PLY
RETURN
4. The file ADDROW.PLY is a playback file with the [F2] key recorded in
it.
I think this should do it
