>>Yes, Thor has a tool to add mdots. The tool has an option, so you can add them only where they make a difference (that is, only on accesses, not assignments). On the Thor menu, it's Code | MDots | Add MDots to Variable names.

Unfortunately, it can't be used standalone, as it relies on code from the Thor framework. Looks like the key routine is Thor_Proc_AddMDotsSingleProc.PRG. Don't know how hard it would be to adapt that to use outside the framework.

FWIW, since Thor is very configurable, you should be able to install it without messing up your own stuff. Not only that, but you could just run it once in a VFP session to get what you want without setting it up to run on VFP start-up.
