Hi Walter,

>IMO, the set DELETE setting should default be set to ON.

This not a very convincing arguement to a weak suggestion. There are lots of things that have multiple settings that may be defaulted to the one the you don't want. That's why they let you change it. And to simplify it is the point of your framework.

The reason its defaulted off, is because thats was the behaivor of Fox before SET DELETED was available. Changing it now would not be very backwards compatible and create headaches for people that want SET DELETED OFF or didn't know it existed. I find it hard to believe that everybody needs it ON. One thing that would be nice, is a "Deleted" property for the Session object, along with any other of these scoped SET commands.
