Thanks for sharing my false memories. It means a lot to me.

Cynism aside, I really hate it when they switch gears like that, or when they use the same word (or acronym, for that matter) to mean multiple things. Off the top of my head:
Key: 1) entry in an index, 2) part of the keyboard
Cursor: 1) the blinking thingy on a display, 2) CURrent Set Of Records
Scan: 1) Fox command, 2) digitize a picture using a scanner, 3) use barcode reader 4) a product or operation of (3), 5) a product or operation of (4)
Programming: 1) what we do for living, 2) what you hear on the radio
COM: 1) port, 2) object interfacing protocol
IDE 1) type of disks, 2) programming environment
GUI 1) visual interface 2) globally unique identifier

Um... forgot to Set Rant On somewhere :).

>>The directory() function should have been removed from Fox several versions ago, and replaced with a Folder() function. There was never any sort of object called Directory anywhere in DOS or Windows. It was always Folder, even in CP/M and CP/M68K days. The Party and the Pope and Microsoft are always right. The Directory came into existence with Directory Services, the primary purpose of which is not to contain files.

>>My false memory does keep some records of some other forums back in the early 90s, when I'd accidentally mention the word 'folder' and a bunch of hardcored DOSers would yell at me "it's a DIRECTORY and only DIRECTORY and it will NEVER be called 'folder' and you can stuff your Atari you know where!!!". But, as I say, it's a false memory, and therefore incorrect and bears no connection with reality.
