>>>>>Come to think of it, you could actually do the same with the free eView -utility and VFP6. In the same vein, while Code Reference is a nice feature in VFP9, it doesn't allow you to edit code, whereas GoFish -utility lets you do that and much more and do it MUCH faster to boot.

In VFP6 (and I guess in all of the later versions, too) you can use Ken Levy's SuperCls -utility to go up and down the inheritance chain at will and edit any parent/grandparent etc. in place. I can't imagine why they didn't build that functionality directly into VFP7/8/9...

Probably too many memory corruption or other strange issues trying to edit a class that's "in-use".
