field=WIDTH=nn
would be better. It would allow the use to be extended later, as has
happened with the ColumnAttributes and OrderingLinks. For example:
field=WIDTH=nn;TITLE=cccccc;ALIGN=Centre
TIB_StringList has functions already built to handle this type of
layout, so if you are going to go down this path its better to prepare
for even further extension in the future.
