Object comparison only returns .t. if the two variables are references to the same physical object.

SO

** Create two references to the same object
x = _SCREEN
y = _SCREEN
? x = y
gives .t.


** Create two similar objects of identical class
x = CREATEOBJECT("Form")
y = CREATEOBJECT("Form")
? x = y
gives .f.
