Hi Walter:
Thank you very much for your help.
The Emulated Command Window I'm trying to create is designed for own support. It's called by a 'Development' menu which is only available
when the application starts with a special parameter. Like you said, we don't want users mess things up as well. THat's why I can't simply
use 'Read & Clear Events', anyway It's not a big issue as long as It works for Sql and functions. I think I rarely need to create variables there.
I also check the Visual Foxpro help and know that all variables declared in Foxpro command window are automatically PUBLIC. Maybe that's
why I got 'Variable .. NOt found' problem in my fake command window.

The Infinite Loop problem, you should be able to duplicate by press Enter key (maybe twice) in your command window. I'm not sure it's related
to Visual Foxpro version or not. I'm still using Visual Foxpro 5.0a.

Thanks,
