  ! helper routine to read character string entry of a config file table. The
  ! tables are designed to have multiple lines for a single entry by using "&"
  ! continuation symbols to indicate a line continuation. It internally tests 
  ! for the end of the table line and looks for a continuation symbol on the
  ! next line. If found it advances to the next entry.
  !
  ! This separate routine was created to avoid significant duplication of code
  ! necessary for parsing the tables.
