C'mon, Craig, you know better than that!

I can concede that a (very) few items in the Help have been improved, but the vast vast majority of them remain exactly the same from release to release, and VFP 6.0 made no difference in that regard.

You can make this claim if they update a single item, but it is misleading in the extreme!

FLUSH, for instance, has *not* changed. Countless commands continue to state 'included only for compatability' - even those which are still needed! Things like ISRLOCKED() were highlighted to them way back at VFP 3 and nothing has changed. SET REFRESH has been for more than BROWSE since VFP 3 yet virtually no change. RELEASE continues to fail to mention 'dangling references' in any way. I could go on oand on.

Now let's turn to the VFP 6.0 Programmer's Guide, formerly the "Visual FoxPro Developer's Guide". It is, for all intents and purposes, WORD for WORD identical with the exception that nearly 100 new pages are added at the end of the VFP 6 issue to cover off the new stuff. That's an "improvement"???

Lets take a look at the Component Gallery and the Foundation Classes, which are publicized as aimed at the novice VFP programmer.
None of this stuff is even directly referenced/indexed in the VFP 6 Help - you have to go to some specific (and unintuitive) entry to obtain the scoop on these things.

You would do us all a huge favour if you withheld you enthusiasm for VFP to factual information rather than propagandizing, regardless of the truth, at any opportunity.
