i'm still having some problems with the behavior.  when moving
downwards, the cursor jumps to column 1 for one line when it would
wind up shifting to a new field.  it then resumes column-sticky
behavior from the column on which it started, until the next field
change.

the same thing happens when moving upwards, except to the end-of-line
instead of column 1, iff the content side has a field qualifier.  the
example i'm posting can be used to show both situations, by leaving or
removing the comment chars eliding a few of the lines.

i would like to see the behavior richard describes, but would be ok
with plain column-sticky behavior.

i'm sorry i've taken a while to post this, and i'm going to be away
for several days starting tomorrow, so wanted to put this out there.
