Question about tables in Lout

[R. D. Davis]

Greetings,

Being somewhat new to Lout, I've got a few questions.  Can Lout be
used to create printouts which contain background grids, some of which
are shaded?

For example:

+-------+---------+---------+---------+
|sh  22 |         |     3   | sh  9   |
+-------+---------+---------+---------+
|sh     |         |     1   |     1   |
+-------+---------+---------+---------+
|sh   4 |         |     2   |     7   |
+-------+---------+---------+---------+

where sh denotes shaded bacground and the numbers just represent
numbers to appear in boxes in the grid.  Note that the above is just
a simplified example of what I want to do; what I had planned to do
will fill an entire page with a grid if that's possible

Thanks for any information that anyone can provide about this!
