I'm missing something more fundamental -
I've renamed the config file to config.fpw, and put a _STARTUP = "myfile.prg" statement in it.
I've tried COMMAND = DO "myfile.prg" instead.
I've tried including the the config file in my project as well as invoking it via a -c command line option when I start my app.
The result still looks as if none of the statements I've tried in it are being executed.
With filemon, I see my config file being accessed, but don't see myfile.prg being accessed.
?
