[Rd] How to create a table structure in Java code?

[Morkus]

Thanks! I just figured it out (thanks to "Beyond Compare") and was coming here to post back.

The boxM test doesn't work with that (now, finally working) REXP structure, but I probably now need to create a table or something and parse that structure.

So much fun! :)

Thanks again.
