[comp.text.tex] Novice Alert! Yet another question...

Another LaTeX question:

I'm making a table using the tabular format, and I'm trying 
to get nicely spaced lines of text in it.

Here's what I have...

\begin{tabular}{|c|l|}
\hline
Option & Description \\
\hline
\hline
x & This is a line of text with many words in it which will need \\
	& to be broken.  \\ \hline
    .
	.
	.
\end{tabular}

The problem is that the text lines have too much space between them
compared to the \hline's and text.  I think that \baselineskip needs
to be changed, but so far everything I've tried hasn't made a difference.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Chris
