I first wonder why you are trying this particular sequence...
Beyond that, "SET CLASSLIB TO MyClass IN MyApp" opens MyApp, locates the library MyClass if it is in there, and notes to the system that MyClass is to be searched first for any class references (such as in CreateObject()). This implies that the file MyApp.app remains open.
"SET CLASSLIB TO" then instructs VFP not to search any particular path for class references. *This does not close MyApp.app*
The attempt to recompile tries to overwrite a currently open file, and your error results.
>For step 3, I have tried CLEAR CLASS myclass and RELEASE CLASS myclass with no success. I looks like there might be a bug with the RELEASE command, because the help file says I can do the following:

These commands affect class libraries - your problem is with an open .app file.
> So, my question is how do I release class from memory without leaving FoxPro and coming back into FoxPro.
In order to helpfully answer your question, I need to return to my opening question - what is the effect you are trying to create here? "CLOSE ALL" might work, but it's a sledgehammer approach.
