Haven't a clue to give. Do you guys get phone number field showing? Gotta download the (changed) working version, maybe then this paragraph will wind up in more decent draft. ;-) Tried building the third protocol as per spec in the help viewer, but I don't know what gesture gets it going so I can change the data directly in the table. I suspected that an enter while the column and row was selected was the gesture, but that didn't work. What's it?

  Sample project does display phone Field. Now I need to get some savvy for comparing the source code. It might be a whole lot easier to review the right way than look through the wrong way I wrote it.
  We'll see.

  I should have written : "Key value correct in source, incorrect in web page."
  Hey, we all make mistakes if we are "pushing the edge" (like Mike, Help Viewer writers, debuggers all do).

  Took a break for exercise and then took fresh look at nib and speculated how it might have its columns accessed.
  The key name was Email but Mike had written forKey:@"email Address" in creatRecord of pdf instructions. He wrote it up correctly in the example source code.
  The gesture question remained. I tried using the clipboard icon in help viewer and got a strange copy into bbedit and projectbuilder, eg ">" for ">", "&" for "&", "<" for "<". And with the straight copy fixed, I got direct data entry! The gesture was double click, change cell, enter.
  The straight paste prettyprinted made clear the translations in the paste were really a fly in the ointment.
  ;-)
  Feeling groovy.

  Sorry about the code typo. It should be changed to Email soon. Thanks for catching it. I knew i'd be causing myself trouble by changing all the @"email Address" keys to @"Email"!
