Hello John,

>As far as my comment about the VFP editor, I feel it is weak because it takes so long to get anything done when you have to use the mouse. When using an old DOS editor like Brief you can really fly when using just the keyboard.

I take your point. Old habits die hard, eh? ;-)

>...it is nice to have your prg code up in a DOS window while the program is running in another.

But wouldn't the execution speed be far too fast for a DOS window to be of any use? If debugging, I would rather have the code running in a trace window where I could SET STEP ON, breakpoints, throttle, etc.. If my client-site also had VFP development facilities, I would consider including all the code in the .exe a small price to pay should there arise a situation which could only be debugged 'on-site'.

Regards,

Alan
