Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to enhance the cell editing method for a
JTable.

What I want to happen is:
User navigates to cell using cursor keys.  (yea, this bit is working)
As soon as user starts typing, text which was previously in the cell is
deleted and replaced by what the user starts to type.
i.e. Instead of appending the new text to the existing text, it should
replace it.

Any suggestions?  Is there a simple property I can set (oh joy of joy!) or
do I need to start listening for various events and subclass cell editors
etc etc...

Thanks in advance,
Kevin.
