Hi, Charlie-

Basically, I'm looking at it as a way to have relatively easy access to Windows functions. Most of my efforts to date have been exploratory. But I've played around with instantiating explorer, dragging files into a FoxPro textbox, navigating directories, and such. Mostly just trying to puzzle out the constants.

The MSDN online library has good information if you search for the topic shell.application.

If you have missed them, be sure to check out these two posts in this thread:
