Hi Carl,

>I don't want to change any windows, second foxpro that I open, because when I minimize them to my desktop, I would be able to distinglish which one I was working in. The caption is helpful, but not what I'm looking for because I may have over 6 to 8 different programs running and the caption would not be readable, thus I would like to change the color of the command window from blue to red. thank for your input.

I haven't seen you in a while, how are things? :-)

Back to your question, you could change the backcolor of the VFP screen:

_screen.backcolor = rgb(255,0,0) &&red
_screen.backcolor = rgb(0,02550) &&blue
