Attached is the latest table.el that does not use function advice anymore. It depends on the new command remap feature therefore won't run correctly in the previous versions of emacs. So far I find one problem. Somehow when point goes inside a table cell the table menu does not appear in the menu bar. For this part the same code works fine under emacs-21.1.90 although command remap is missing. Has the menu mechanism in keymap changed under 21.3? -Tak
