That's where it breaks down.  
When I select the Table element and try:
	idSelection = F_ApiGetId(FV_SessionId, idDoc, FP_SelectedTbl);
I get zero (0) which is not very useful.
When I select the insertion point to be between the Row elements for a Row
selection I get the same result.  
I can get the ID for FP_FirstTblInDoc, but not for FP_SelectedTbl, so I know
that something is working, but not anything I can use.   Either the
documentation, the FDK or the structure of my document is not working
corrrectly.  And at this point I'm not sure where to look or how to diagnose
it.   

One thing that did look encouraging is that 
	propVal = F_ApiGetPropVal(FV_SessionId, idDoc, FP_ElementSelection);
returned a value for propVal.propVal.u.ival.  I'm still trying to figure out
if it means anything, however.

There's plenty of code in this component, that identifies Element selections
and let me walk the elements within.  But, I can't seem to get started on
doing that in a table row if I can't get a handle on the selection.

When the element selection fails you could try to inspect document's
property FP_SelectedTbl and if it returns something useful inspect the
selected cell range within this table. You can find more in the FDK
Programmer's Guide, "Getting and setting IDs of selected tables and
table rows" (on page 85).
