Hi,
I'm Francis, I fix vfp help file.

- the "WITH (BUFFERING = lExpr)" option is explained in the page :

HELP "SELECT - SQL Command - WITH Clause"

do you mean :

- Make update in help page named "SELECT - SQL Command - FROM Clause"
in part "Remarks" ?

actualy :

SELECT Select_List
   FROM Table_List 
...[WITH (BUFFERING = lExpr)]
   [WHERE Conditions]
   [GROUP BY Column_List]
   [UNION Clause]
   [HAVING Conditions]
   [ORDER BY Column_List]
   [INTO Clause | TO Clause ] 
   [Additional_Display_Options]

by

SELECT Select_List
   FROM Table_List [WITH (BUFFERING = lExpr)]
   [WHERE Conditions]
   [GROUP BY Column_List]
   [UNION Clause]
   [HAVING Conditions]
   [ORDER BY Column_List]
   [INTO Clause | TO Clause ] 
   [Additional_Display_Options]

Like print screen updated in attachment ?

about the header in the same page :

actualy

FROM [FORCE] Table_List_Item [, ...] 
      [[JoinType] JOIN DatabaseName!]Table [[AS] Local_Alias]
      [ON JoinCondition [AND | OR [JoinCondition | FilterCondition] ...]

can be corrected :

FROM [FORCE] Table_List_Item [, ...]  [WITH (BUFFERING = lExpr)]
      [[JoinType] JOIN DatabaseName!]Table [[AS] Local_Alias]  [WITH (BUFFERING = lExpr)]
      [ON JoinCondition [AND | OR [JoinCondition | FilterCondition] ...]

and others pages :

HELP "SELECT - SQL Command"

in part "Remarks"
and in header ?

HELP "SELECT - SQL Command - UNION Clause"

in part "Remarks"

HELP "SELECT - SQL Command - WHERE Clause"

in part "Remarks"

HELP "SELECT - SQL Command - WITH Clause"

in part "Remarks"
etc...
?

>as "..." (if seen at all) would have not registered on first readings, esp, as not mentioned / linked to from "From" Clause. Might be an idea to forward "With is a clause to from/join, not select" to the person(s) having made the effort to fix vfp help on vfpX.

Exactly. The syntactically correct form of this meta-syntax description would be to put the With clause into each entry of the table_list.
