Why is it I can type frm=CREATEOBJECT("Form") in the VFP command window and have an object created, but when I put it in a PRG file and run it the object doesn't get created?

What I'm trying to do in a startup.prg file is:

SET CLASSLIB TO lcontainers
frmSysParms=CREATEOBJECT("frmSys")

Shouldn't that create an object named "frmSysParms" based on the class "frmSys" located in the lcontainers Class Library?

frustrated.

Thank you for your help.
