if you look at the vfp_import_xcx.prg importer of Lianja, there is a function called " convertProperties() " which (for example in case of the here mentioned RGB() issue, but also in a few other cases) gives the data from the vcx/scx a needed m.cPropStart + m.cPropvalue + m.cPropStop.
Might be an idea to have such functionality switchable to create runnable programs. The commentary found in the early 2013 version near the "Color" is from me (did NOT check latest version). As I only enhanced/debugged some the functionality I will not post the extracts from the code (contact Barry before incorporating and publicizing), but I do not think it will be a problem, as the LianjaX was intended to mirror vfpX licensing.
