Oh, yes. [prepend] together with an empty message box is a quite good emulation of jMax's [display]. However I wished for something more self-contained and extensible.
think to an editable 2d grid, or better, think to a tracker (do you remember that old sequencers that were used for composing C64 & Amiga tunes?).
A Grid Editor is next after the code of [display] is fully debugged. It's been on my TODO since early 2001 (!!!) but I didn't nearly have the means to create it nearly as easily as now.
the paradigm to read/write data to this object should be like the table/tabread/tabwrite objects: you supply X,Y,VALUE to write, and X,Y to read (the triggers should be respectively in VALUE for writing, and Y for reading)
For that, GridFlow has [#store], which supports 0-D, 1-D, 2-D, 3-D, 4-D, etc., grids of data. It also has a bunch of other features. Possibly that the grid editor I'll write ([#edit]) will be built around [#store].
