- Why not do something really graphical? Put up a dialog box that "shows"
- the two, three, and four table choices (or a simplified pictorial
- representation thereof) and let the user click on her choice. To choose
- rows and columns, display a ten row by four column grid. Superimpose
- a five row by two column rectangle on the upper left corner of the
- grid. Let the user choose the number of rows and columns by grabbing
- the lower right corner of the rectangle and moving it until the
- rectangle covers the number of rows and columns to be used.
