One of my old wishes for VFP, which will never be. Which brings me to the next question:

Wood wood= new wood()

Is there a way to write "wood" fourth time in the same line?

>Now here is one you may like. If you are wondering about a variable's declaration, hover the mouse over it, right click, and choose Go To Definition. Doesn't matter how near or far away it is in the source code. Not bad?

Another one for the wish list. Does it know how to come back, too?

This actually made me look at the similar stuff that's under a rightclick in Fox, when you edit code. Look up reference, Quick Something, View Definition etc... it's doing stuff I don't know how to use. I see that it creates datasessions, and in it some copies of foxuser, some cursors with filenames of pretty much anything I ever opened with VFP9... who knows what's it doing behind the scenes, because I am not getting any visible response.
