It's okay, the Data Grid likes to be beta up on once and a while :-)
The Data Grid is such a big departure from the other controls in
Revolution that it can be tricky to get your head around it. The,
shall we say, "less than x-talk" syntax you have to use doesn't help.
FIrst to satisfy my quick and dirty needs, I find that the following
works well to get data displayed in a data grid field:
on mouseUp
put field "data" into tData --Tab delimited text
--The first line of tData contains the column names
put line 1 of tData into tHeaders
replace tab with cr in tHeaders
set dgProp["Columns"] of group "DataGrid" to tHeaders --Thanks to
Andre for this line.
set the dgText [ true ] of group "DataGrid" to tData
end mouseUp
Yes, that is the way to approach it with a Data Grid. I should
probably add that to a lesson somewhere...
Now to reinforce your point about the richness of this more complex
object:
In another context, I would like to be able to click on the first
column header and have it sort the grid by the LAST word of each in
the first column.
Is it possible to access (and modify) the script that the column
headers runs?
Take a look at this lesson:

Thanks again for nursing us through the infancy of data grids.
