I was just having to verify the first two characters of a string are alpha, so I wrote this little procedure:

procedure alphastr
	lparameter mystring
        local ureturn, ustrpos
	ureturn = .t.
	for ustrpos= 1 to len(mystring)
		if !isalpha(substr(mystring, ustrpos, 1)) then
			ureturn = .f.
		endif
	next
return ureturn
