Method #4: Make sure the table starts in column 0 of the screen, then
use TblSetColumnEditIndicator to mark the left columns as highlighted
when a right column is selected for editing. This technique is used in
Address Book for its edit details table to highlight the lable when you
click on a cell to edit the text.
Note: before Palm OS 3.5, this will only work on tables that start on
column 0. There is an OS bug which causes the highlighting to occur at
x=0, rather than x=tblBounds.topLeft.x.
