using tables

I read Eric's stack about how to use tables, which was very helpful.

His suggested approach for making a table not scroll (i.e., act as if it 
were a fixed group of fields on the screen) shows just how awkward the 
table facility is.  Imagine having five tables on a stack and trying to 
implement the RawKeyDown handler: you would have to clone the code 
repeatedly for every table on the stack, or loop over all fields looking 
for tables.

I'm afraid I can't understand why this obviously helpful feature was not 
built into tables from the start
