resizing datagrids on mobile

[Andre Garzia]

Hi Monte,

I think we need real tables, not the datagrid. Even though the datagrid is
a really impressive proof of what can be done with LiveCode alone, it is
really hard to use some times.

The whole business of resizing everything, recalculating font sizes and
text heights is getting on my nerves. :-)
