Howsabout some code to put in a "dummy row" in an OrgMode Table--this would
facilitate inputting multi-line-text--i.e. a key in
OrgMode/TableMode/CalcMode
would insert exactly a line like this in the table below:
| | | | | | | | | | |
|
---and thats it--you're done---then you just type in the text in the column
cells you want the multiline text.
