Here is what I do. 1. Follow the menu path Input>Create Table/Matrix/Palette and choose Table with the appropriate number of lines and 3 columns (4 to add comments). 2. lhs in first box, equal sign in second, rhs in third. A space effectively makes a box disappear. 3. Select the cell bracket and: Format>Option Inspector>Formatting Options>Table/Matrix/Palette Formatting>Column Options and set ColumnAlignments to Left. There is an alignment marker character but I find the above sufficient for my needs.
