>As I wrote I would not use @ GET. Or ACCEPT or INPUTBOX This is outdated. I started with VFP after this was outdated 25 years ago. So I have no clue about this. And I strongly like to discourage you using this.

Agreed.

However, It's hard to imagine but entire commercial accounting systems were built during the eighties and early nineties with SAY and GET. I sold a lot of them. I did a lot of work with them back them.
The advent of Windows and VFP changed all that, but those SAY and GET DOS systems replaced mainframe systems costing orders of magnitudes more and blazed the trail.
Like you, I doubt that I'd have the patience to deal with them now, but I can look back with fondness.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
