Roi,
Thank you very much!
I just tried your suggestion - what an improvement! Fast reference is really my concern: getting parameter specs, etc...

>BTW, in VFP just go to Options, File Locations Tab, find the help file line and change it to: c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\msdn\2000jan\1033\foxhelp.chm or where you installed MSDN, then you have only foxhelp from the fox menu. You can access the MSDN from a regular windows shortcut.
