>It's not a bug but rather a side-effect. For performance reason a cursor is created with FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY attribute which instracts Windows not to create a physical presence on the disk if sufficient cache memory is available. Granted, this behavior should be documented better.

Sergey, I known it, but:
- the cursor is within VFP by definition
- DBF('cursor') is unique by definition

then:
- VFP can found it into they file handles list.
