Hi, Alex.
>Besides a "sort of" native data engine, which seems to be coming (good idea), please consider promoting capability similar to SCAN / ENDSCAN, direct addressing of data while in the buffer (Cursor.Field), and also SCATTER / GATHER, especially with the NAME clause. All save a lot of time and simplify maintenance when the cursor structure changes.
Part of this is already available in the typed-datasets. Not the scan-endscan part as this is a language construction that is not suitable for .NET as I see it, but you can do almost the same with a different syntax
