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.

If my code works, I either save as a prg, or I copy-and-paste into the relevant place. and my command window doesn't get cluttered.

OK, but if you read the whole thread, the discussion really was about whether you could use if-endif constructs, and so on. I guess you agree that those kinds of tests are better suited for a temp prg, and not in the command window?
