[help-recutils] modifying ob-rec.el to eliminate the header and hline - is there a better way

[Charles Millar]

I know that the following is strongly discouraged (modifying the 
original .el code), so could someone provide the better way.

I have a number of tables that are generated using ob-rec.el in a org file

I do not want the column names or hline, so I have commented out the 
penultimate line in ob-rec.el (v 7.7), i.e.

           (cons (car table) (cons 'hline (cdr table))))))))

and instead have inserted simply

          (cdr table))))))

I have tried to use :hline no as mentioned in the org manual, and 
:colnames (nil no, yes) and these do not have any effect on the output 
if I use ob-rec.el as Jose coded it.

(BTW, I don't want the heading and hline because the fields in the 
record set usually are short compared to what should be in the final 
product, such as "Basis: " in the record, but "Inventory Value" in the 
final print out)

Is there some code that I could include in my .emacs that takes care of 
this so that I avoid changing Jose's code?
