I have a file in a large table that I have to scroll around in.  It
would be nice to hang the first row of the table, which tells me what
is in what column, at the top of the buffer and have it update as I
scroll horizontally through the table.

Seems like the header line (analogous to the mode line) would be
perfect, but I am at a loss as how to set header-line-format to
accomplish this.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Lee
