Howsabout some code to put in a "dummy row" in an OrgMode Table--this would facilitate inputting multi-line-text--i.e. a key in OrgMode/TableMode/CalcMode would insert exactly a line like this in the table below: | | | | | | | | | | | | ---and thats it--you're done---then you just type in the text in the column cells you want the multiline text.
