>Actually you can, but it has practically no value. If you type a small program in the command window, and use ctrl-enter instead of enter, you can highlight what you have written, right-click and choose Exectute Selection. What happens "behind the scene" is that VFP creates a temp file, execute it and deletes it, this is also what happens when you use the Execscript() function.

Hey Tore,
It has practical function when coupled with debugging especially with oleautomation where access to good documentation is less:)
