>Almost all of the old SETs still do work. I was on a project with the documentation folks back in 2001/2 to straighten up the VFP docs and I remember testing the heck out of all of the SETs. I think SET DOHISTORY doesn't work anymore but most of the others still do.

I still use those, when it comes to setting a few odd relations among tables that need to be browsed in a particularly nasty setup - usually part of some debugging or conversion, when I have to close what I'm doing just to give it another try a few minutes later. Then rebuilding the whole setup takes just too long, and writing a little prg leaves garbage (the .prg :) lying around that may not be recognized as such - need to be quite clever with naming. With a .vue, I know it's junk if older than a week, so I know I can just delete it without much thinking - it will never be a part of the app itself.
