>>And another note: there's no such thing as EndOfMemo character - the memo block has a header which denotes its status and length. Fox never analyzes the content of the memo, and doesn't really care what sort of butes you stuff inside, else we'd never be able to Save To Memo, Append Memo From (file) etc, i.e. it wouldn't allow arbitrary binary content.

It may be useful for some emulation mode, but try this:
create curs xx (m m)
appe blank
repl m with repl(chr(26), 200)
?len(m)
?m

I've tried this in FPD2.6a, and it gives me 200, and eight lines of right arrows, which means it doesn't care about the content, and the double eof marker is not treated as end-of-memo. It may mean that in tables which have the type byte in the header designating them as dBase tables.
