Offsets of tables

[Alexandre Wajnberg]

About the rules to follow in order to establish correctly the offsets 
in general, may be a kind of "way of use" or "instructions for use" 
would be very useful!
...somewhere around the "Contribute new seq" file (are the informations 
allready available there really sufficient? More exemples would be 
usefull).
