what about change-row?

Plus, consider multiple selected rows, which may or not include the 
current row.

the way it works is that you have some basic retrieval functions, 
such as GET-ROW, GET-COL and such. They use fixed positions to get 
the row you want from DATA, such as if you want row number 6, you 
type in:

get-row 6


Then there are all the -HERE functions, which simply retrieve data 
from the selected rows and columns. If the name was to change, I'd 
probably go for GET-SELECTED-ROW and such.

works the same for inputting data

there is a problem with GET-SELECTED-COL, because it could be misinterpreted 
as you want to return the entire column, and not the single value 
at a specific position in a row. I've not adopted the term "cell", 
but would that be appropriate? I normally only associate it with 
spreadsheets.

it is a table cell though

Ryan, re CGI: Maybe try  size-text: none   at the beginning of the 
script ?  That "might" work.

Anton: huge thanks! Brilliant, well, if it works. Perhaps plopping 
it in the user.r, rebol.r, or prefs file.

Henrik: what about using get-col-here as get-col with get-col/at 
to specify pos.

ryan, that's a possibility

selected behavior by default. seems nice.

yeah, however there might be a slight confusion: Currently the -HERE 
functions take in account filtering and sorting, so that you always 
edit or retrieve the right row regardless of these settings. the 
other functions get and put directly in DATA. The behaviour would 
either need to change or I'd have to add another refinement

there could be a /direct refinement.

-marked ?

(because I believe that direct editing of data would be rarely used, 
but I'm not entirely sure)

I don't use the term "marking" anywhere...

suggestion:

insert-row - would add a row at the selected position


insert-row/at - would add a row at the position that can be seen 
in the list after filtering and sorting


insert-row/at/direct - would add a row directly in DATA at the position

insert-row/direct - would be ignored? (I don't like that)

poke-row?

poke would be like change

/raw ? raw index?

yeah, that would be good

insert-row/raw could be the way

I dont know, good luck with that guys. Seems to have a whole lot 
of innuendo's. BTW Henrik, this is a very needed control, I commend 
your efforts!

wait a minute... 'at is an existing function. will that work?

ryan, thanks :-)

sys-at: get in system/words 'at

you must be carefull in that function. and use system/words/at for 
the real one.

I don't think it's good, because I already use 'at in the raw functions

a less elegant option would be to use separate functions: INSERT-ROW, 
INSERT-ROW-AT, INSERT-ROW-RAW

first infunction::
  at-ref: at at: get in system/words 'at
and the rest can stay the same. not elegant, but..

I don't like it...

I dont love it

or INSERT-ROW, INSERT-ROW/RAW and INSERT-ROW-AT

/raw and /at wouldn't be used simultaneously anyway

doing it this way, will require a minimum of changes to the code

maybe INSERT-ROW, INSERT-ROW-AT and INSERT-ROW-AT/RAW would fit better...

from the interface i like /at

I like it too, but I'd hate to code it :-)

why?

its one ugly line.

because of the above indirection

/here maybe just as good for this func...

(coming full circle)

could be, but DideC would then ask "where?" :-)

Since here is a refienement, it assumes you the specify. selected 
behavior by default.

I you want it to be real slick, I would graph them out, pro and cons, 
etc. If you want it finished, keep up the good work.

well, thinking about it, /here is a pretty good suggestion. Then 
we'd have INSERT-ROW, INSERT-ROW/HERE, INSERT-ROW/HERE/RAW

Anybody got a rebol routine for saving gifs? Perhaps the one I wrote 
years ago and happen to lose?

words: [data [new/user-data: second args next args]]

I sometimes miss a "soft" SHOW, which only shows faces that have 
the SHOW? flag already to be true. Is there an easy way around that?
