using tables

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Jon,

I wrote this tutorial stack about table fields because there were  
many questions on this list about this feature a month ago.
But I am not really satisfied with it.
The table feature is not accomplished enough in the current version  
of Revolution to provide satisfying answers to legitimate questions.
As you said, it shows how amazing the table facility is :-)
Nevertheless, I am happy if this stack could help you.
