>>I'm working on an error handler and I need the option of "SUSPENDing" at the time of an error to check the environment, etc. After suspending, the user should be able to type in commands as per my instructions (as if from a command window) so I can check certain settings. How can I do this? "SET STEP ON" and "SUSPEND" don't work outside of the development environment.

There's a nice "Command Window Simulator" available here in the Files section (under Visual FoxPro in general).
