The script below defines the editgrid verb which displays an editable Grid which, on close, assigns its data to a user-definable noun.

editgrid provides an easy way to create arrays containing miscellaneous contents for use in the session.

If no name is specified, the grid data is assigned to the noun celldata_ed in the locale editgrid was called from.
