When you need one than single block per line this definition

\define\startPaneRow{bTR\bTD}
\define\stopPaneRow{\eTD\eTR}

doesn't make sense because you limit yourself and after each table cell 
there is a new row.

While you can write code which moves your blocks around you should ask 
yourself the question is it worth it. When you have only two or three 
posters in this format use the extra commands for table rows and cells 
because it takes more time to write something which does the work.

<div style="direction: ltr;">Thanks. The immediate goal is to make a 
”quad chart” w/ different pains in the four (2x2 =&gt; NW, NE, SW, SE) 
quadrants. It seemed that the concept was scalable to any NxM (even with
 multi-cell spreads---useful for larger structured
 posters) based on TABLE. But I'd settle for 2x2 at the moment; at one 
point I'd thought of 2x2+1 having a spanning block for publication 
references per slide but decided a separate publications slide was a 
better idea visualy..</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">If they have to see an end command, would 
before/after tags work around a framedtext or buffer structure?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">1. 2x2 panes, layout order not important, 
all panes <span id="ms-outlook-ios-cursor">
</span>independent; no flow (like Framemaker used to do) requiredbetween
 panes.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">2. was going to have inner frames (i.e. +
