[texhax] table formatting problem

[M.N.A.Smadi]

hi;

i have a table that has way too many lines and it cannot fit on one 
page, it does not show the table over two pages it just chops the lower 
part and as a matter of fact it continue until the end of the page 
without leaving any margins.  How can i have the same table show over 
multiple pages?

The code am using is as follows:
\begin{table}[hang]
\centering
\caption{XXX}

\begin{tabular}{|l|p{5in}|}
    \hline
\textbf{\bf Message}  & {\bf Description}\\ \hline
    \hline
.
my text is going here in.
.

\end{tabular}   
\label{tab:XXX}
\end{table}


thanks
