Hi, can someone point me past the "brick wall" I have come up against please ?
I am trying to expand the rows of a table (latex + tabular) using \arraystretch.
   This is the dump
! Undefined control sequence.
l.13 \rnewcommand
                  { \arraystretch}{2}

If i change \rnewcommand to \newcommand to check the spelling of \arraystrtch 
I get 
! Command name 'arraystretch' already used.
\@latexerr ...for immediate help.}\errmessage {#1}
                                                  
\@ifundefined ...me #1\endcsname \relax #2\else #3
                                                  \fi 
l.13 \newcommand { \arraystretch}{2}

Also what is the best way to make the row size expand to fill up the whole 
page ? IS the an equivalnet of \vfill I can use ???
