Question: modifying 'Explore'

Hi:

I would like to slightly modify the "Explore" command -- I find it extremely useful, but the layout often doesn't work well for me (my typical use case is say 12 plots with ~10 parameters that vary). The problem is that the default alignment the columns of the table that contains a matrix of plots is "Center" and my plots don't fit on the screen properly (no matter how I play with sizes, placement, etc) and I would like it to be "Left" aligned --- aligning things manually (via right click) after the explore command is executed is possible, but painful, given that I often change my code.

... bottom line is that I would like to be able to re-define the "Explore" command.

I tried doing so by first calling:
showstat(Explore);

... then removing all the numbers, renaming the proc to sat MyExplore, declaring it (i.e. so maple understands it) and for now using that instead of the old Explore in my program (with no actual code changes for now). The problem is that I get the following error:

Error, (in DocumentTools:-Layout:-Table) number of Column arguments, 3, exceeds total column span, 1, computed from Rows' Cells

I think, somehow maybe showstat is not showing the full thing? or maybe it is part of a more complicated module? or maybe by removing the numbers the formatting got screwed up (i was careful here)?

So my question:

How would I define my own function "MyExplore" that (for now) contains exactly the same code and functionality as the built-in "Explore"?

thanks!
