It is not always visually obvious which one of them belongs to the active VFP instance. Clicking on the wrong one is an annoyance, but occasionally a problem if I don't notice and start typing something inappropriate for that instance.

>What I'm looking for is some way to be able to tell visually which command window belongs to which VFP instance. My first thought was the caption - but I haven't found a way to modify that. The second is to change the color in the titlebars (VFP and Command Window) but I don't know how to do that either.
