...and wanted to share a laugh.

You see, my alert.prg was written in FP2.0 days as a little popup; in FPD2.6 it got buttons; in VFP it became a replacement - no, an upgrade over a messagebox. The few combinations of buttons that are possible in it maybe cover whatever creators of Windows 3.0 had in mind, but that was nearly 20 years ago (and alert.prg was only 15, then 12 years ago :). The whole point was to have your own button captions instead of the default ones.

So this (see pic) has made me laugh - my answer was "copy, please", but there was OK/Cancel as choice. OK which of the two?

I'm guilty of often answering any old "A or B?" question with a "yes" (and I know a guy who always answers them with a NO but he's not kidding), and I know that eval("to be .or. .not. to be")=.t., but... kidding is kidding, and OS is... well, one of them Windowses.

p.s. can't UT resize the images? Next iteration, I guess.

p.p.s. and why is *Internet* explorer in charge of asking me about what to do with a file I dragged and dropped from one *Windows* explorer to another? Just because this was through Terminal Services and one of them was my local drive? So what, it showed up like a directory in a local network, a local network share... why Internet then? Just because TS operates over IP doesn't mean it's... or is it? Tsk, tsk... and where do I set a safer browser to ask me silly questions? :)
