Good idea. The debug pane will die soon anyway :-) The reason I was 
using the CEditTable was that way back when I actually thought to use 
that code as the basis for the GUI, but then got stuck. Anything that 
will display it faster is great.

Please do!

Standard question: Can we re-ditribute the WText distro with Scribia? 
(Did we get permission, or is it Open Source?) If not we'd better 
clarify this.

I know :-) I used that in the very very first versions, nearly drove 
me crazy. SIOUX made me bite the bullet and pick up enough PP to hack 
together the debug window...
