My TeX is is a little rusty. S means span, make the column the s belongs to part of the previous column. I'm certain LaTeX2e covers it, but I just leant out my two LaTeX manuals. I can do it in troff, I need help just now in LaTeX2e. BTW, lets stick to LaTeX2e, not get older version stuff. It often does make a difference. Otherwise, you have to wait until I get my manuals back.
