>thanks, I'll try to always set those I need.

Hi Ken,

One easy/practical way to handle this is to set your standard environment settings in one function that is part of you main function library.
This way you can easily set your standard environment settings in one line of code.

function set_env
set deleted on
set talk off
set this ...
set that ...
.
.
.
return 


define class mysession as session 

  procedure init
  =set_env()
  this.open_tables()

  procedure open tables
  .
  .

enddefine
