Summary: Array, canvas, tables confusion

Initial Comment:
You go to the Put menu and create an Array.

Need help, click on help, but you get the helpfile for canvas (not Array).

and that helpfile contains information about tables (not canvas or ideally Array).

Array -> canvas -> tables   ... what's going on?

How about changing Put/Array to Put/table or Put/graphical table?

You need to sort out the terminology. Should users use "arrays" or "tables"?

Also there is a confusion between the actual canvas and the Array-canvas.
(a help on canvas will give you my_canvas-help.pd).
