Yes, it should be a comma delimited list of integers.

The issue is with the repeat loop in the dgProp setprop for "column  
widths". Currently it says:

repeat for each item theColumn in the dgProps["columns"] of me

It should read as follows since columns are line delimited:

repeat for each line theColumn in the dgProps["columns"] of me

If you make the change it should start working.

The code loops through the actual columns and assigns the item in the  
list you provide to the width of that column. If you supply to few  
integers then an error will occur. If you supply too many then the  
extras will be ignored.
