If the case you mentioned, a cell containing =A, that letter A is not immediately followed by a number, so its not considered as a cell reference, and the A is not a user-defined function, so the TableCalculator passes it to Javascript for evaluation. But this A is most likely not defined in your (or any other's) Javascript session, therefore the 'A is not defined' error message is returned.
I am guessing your =A means 'copy the whole column A to this column', but this syntax is not supported in the current TableCalculator. It seems possible to support such a syntax though...I am not sure yet... > > In the same vain I would actually remove the 'S'ave button, since it >>> anyway only replicates the saveChanges button accessible with every >>> editable TW.

It sounds like a good idea to replace the delete >> button with a cut button, but I don't quite understand what "upon a cut >> would be changed into a paste" means.
