Yeah...I know..we're macho programmers...we love this kind of stuff

Ever patch a running monitor?

Write self-modifying code? (actually, that's pretty much what VFP macro substituion is since the macros are interpreted at run time)

Don't you feel just a little cheated not having a bonafide "GOTO" statement in VFP (I'm not talking about table navigation...I'm talking about program execution control) ... what could be cuter? or more powerful?
