>>>I think I am the exception that confirms the rule, I have always used "reserved" words and I've never had a problem with them; in particular I cannot see how will you have problems with the name of a method, as it is one of the core values of OOP to have methods of the same name in different objects doing different things, and if someone else cannot see the difference between the BROWSE command and a Browse method, then they have no business looking at my code :)

Do you want to see how bad it can go if you use reserved names for what they are not intended? Try this

Create Cursor _screen (height i, width i, visible l)
Insert Into _screen (height, width, visible) Values (500,500,.t.)
Browse

If you are really bold, replace the second line with this

Insert Into _screen (height, width, visible) Values (-5000,-5000,.f.)
