...I also have a question related to this, or possibly a bug?  On  
OSX, I can't seem to "save contents" of tables, but it works if I  
just create an array...one difference between the two is that upon  
creation of an array, the "save contents" box is already checked in  
the array preference panel:  when creating a table, this box is  
unchecked...

...does anyone see this on other platforms?
