Anton,

>Any suggestions on how to get MODIFY FILE to display the Cyrllic content correctly? In reading the help topic on MODIFY FILE I don't see an equivalent way to set FontCharSet and the codepage "AS 1251" clause does not appear to work for me unless I changed my workstation's non-Unicode language to Russian.

A workaround is to use MODIFY FILE, then use the Format/Font menu to change the font's charset to Cyrllic. Apparently, VFP remembers this change by logging the file name and its font choice to the open FOXUSER resource file. Now, whenever I open a file called russian.txt, VFP uses the font settings I had previously used for this file.

So, one solution is to ship a pre-configured FOXUSER file with your app if you will be using MODIFY FILE to display specifically named files.
