But if you

define window ... name oFrm

then it behaves completely the same, except that when you examine the object referenced by oFrm, you see that it IS a form, with a few properties set to certain values to make it behave like FP2.x window. But it's actually a form. It's just the syntax that's different, and the object that's not exposed to you unless you use the name clause when creating the window.
