>Part1: Does anyone know what unit of measure is used in storing Height and Width in an FRX file (VFP 6). It looks too large for Foxels and Pixels, could it be Twips?

Twips they are. A twip is:

- 20 twips per point
- 1440 twips per inch
- 567 twips per centimeter

Since a Foxel is the average height and width of a character based on the current font, a conversion from Foxels to anything else would be problematic, because the rules would change if the font did.
