Absolutely terrific, Benoit, Gambas is awesome! Meanwhile I could get 
used to the non-MDI interface of Gambas 2 and really love working with 
it, although there is still a lot of new stuff over Gambas 1 to be found 
for me :-)

For example, I just stumbled over the fact that TableView now has an 
editable cell method and this seems to be the only difference to 
GridView now. C'est genial! It would make my own efforts to implement 
editing a cell obsolete. But then I didn't find a way to wrap text in a 
cell... well, that's another mail.

Regards

Rolf
