Andreas -

This code will do it for a two-column format, it will also close the table 
row properly if you have an odd number of results.  In the application it 
was designed for it would sometimes skip results, so I used the scratch 
variable colcount to keep track of where I was in the item list, along with 
some condition logic which I have deleted here.  You could probably remove 
the 2nd and third line and just use [item-increment] wherever you see 
[scratch colcount] thereafter.
