Now that you think of it why not have a rowNames and columnNames property.
set the rowNames to default would give you numbered rows
set the rowNames to none would give you a standard field
set the rowNames to tList would give you named rows
same syntax for columns
if the names were (like on most spreadsheets) able to be clicked to select
the row or column then even better
perhaps even resizing
this may even give us some new syntax for retrieving data from fields
put row tRowName of fld fldName into tVariable
or even ???
put the tableData[tRowName,tColumnName] of fld fldName
Anyway I guess if we just had text alignment working on the cell instead of
the whole fld.
Anyone else think it's time to differentiate fld styles like what has been
done with buttons?

Subject: MC 2.4.2 Feature Wish
Hi Everyone,
I've noticed some discussion on the 2.4.2 beta lately. A feature
I'd like to see in MC is the ability to lock the first row and column in
a scrolling field much like can be done in spreadsheets. (I know that
it's possible to script multiple scrolling fields, but I've never been
successful doing it for horizontal scrolls --- the column data in the
two fields never align.) Presenting data in tables and graphs is an
important part of my research, and being able to easily and dynamically
reset column and row titles in a scrolling field would be a big plus.
MC is one of the best tools I have. Good work Scott and company.
