Hi James,

<< What I am interested in finding out is are there any others who are
working
in the area of editable tables?   Here I am thinking of basic spreadsheet /
cell editing functionality as well as display.  Can the list object be
mangled in this way? >>

Sunanda has developed some grid/tree code, and Ryan recently posted some as
well. I'm heading down a slightly different path, which is to render the
data with DRAW commands and then create just one, or a few, live faces for
editing when necessary. For a small number of items, dynamic layouts should
work fine. The issue with them will be scalability. For really large numbers
of faces, you'll have to do some kind of creation/destruction as things move
around, or just impose upper limits on things, which is also a viable
alternative.

<< Another query is does anyone who has used IOS know if there is better
spreadsheet style handling available than the basic list object from   >>

Not that I know of. Though Allen is working on some style ideas as well, I
think.
