Hi George,

>"Under the hood" stuff. Unfortunately, I think that, in general, the VFP community could use more of an understanding of the relationship between their VFP applications and the OS.

Yep. Do you volunteer? *bg*

>If I were so hazard a WAG here (which might get me crucified, BTW) I'd guess that the VB community probably understands this subject much better than the VFP community.

I think so. Although I'm not sure whether this is because you need API functions in VB where VFP has this feature built in. For example, to display a printer selection or file open dialog, we can issue GETPRINTER() or GETFILE(), in VB you have to use the API or the CommonDialog control.
