Nadya,

>Your emulator works fine, but it's not a complete replacement of command window. It has couple of limitations. For instance, I can not select multiple lines and execute them by hitting Enter, as I can in VFP Command window. In VFP Command window I see reserved words in blue, but not in your Emulator. Also, Error Message, wcich comes with VFP, uses _Screen.Title. Yours shows 'Microsoft Visual FoxPro' instead.

Of course there are differences. This VFP command window, never could replace the original one: There are things that cannot (or difficult) be done in a VFP form. For instance displaying the reserved words in blue would be quite a problem.

But if you feel that there are things that can be of added value to this command window, feel free to adress it. I'll gather them and i'll consider to implement them next time....

Thanks,

Walter,
