Fabrizio,
Description comes from symbol description I believe, it should be in the
table, even though people aren't likely to use it.

Oliver,
4. I thought you added the ability to rearrange the column order, I can't
drag and drop the columns around.
5. The divider between table and fields on the left needs to be saved to
register so that it's size is remembered.
6. Add an option to right click on the column heading like Value, etc, and
allow to change the align property of the fields, and remember them in
registry by column name.

Thanks
