create_hud adds to the main_hud window, a list of tables that are being monitored (it is culled in read_stdin(), so i'll need to do some thinking on that to remove lag time between removal of hud and removal from list)

i can see using this for table info, debug info, buy-in info maybe, but i wanted some place i could write to directly and see things in real time rather than depending on the logs
