Thanks, Erollb1; nice table.

The header layout is something I ginned-up after having been inspired by


I have a read-only template file containing the header. When I start a new table, this gets saved-as and then I trim & modify the header as appropriate and add & expand the groups. The header template is:

# ---------------------------------------------------
# Last Update: modified by EKB on $TODAYS_DATE
# ---------------------------------------------------
# TableName.tab
# Original sources and copyrights
#
# ---------------------------------------------------
# EXPLANATION
# This table is used to DoStuff
#
# ---------------------------------------------------
# NOTE: This Table includes calls to the following
# groups in other tables:
#
# (none)
#
# ---------------------------------------------------
# REVISIONS:

#
# ---------------------------------------------------
# ---------------------------------------------------
# VARIABLES:
# when declared, variable foo has syntax %foo%,Y
# when referenced, variable foo has syntax %foo%
# when assigning value, |foo?Y| where Y is number or
# text
# ---------------------------------------------------
%foo%,5

# ---------------------------------------------------
# PARAMETERS:

# text: @bar,default,prompt

@bar,a value,what do you want to put here?
@baz,first pick,pick one!,first pick, second pick
# ---------------------------------------------------
# Finally, the start of the table:
