You're absolutely right, George. However, bugs creep in and sometimes an intentional feature is still not what a majority of programmers want/need. A case in point is the VFP3 'problem' with numeric values in combo boxes. It won't handle them. MS designed it that way, but changed it in VFP because of the outcry. Same with putting an = sign in front of a function. All of these are very frustrating the first time you run into them.
