Tell me about it. I've been playing with it all weekend, and yesterday reverted to VFP6 on the job, and guess what - I felt slightly crippled, like driving a car that has a few things not functioning, but somehow still runs.

Oh no, you don't want to do that. Real programmers never...
Actually, I expected another little window, or a tab in the GoTo window where you could have the bookmarks listed (perhaps the bookmarked line quoted)... but then there's no way this can get included into the final release, right?

(don't you get a feeling this was a slight push in a certain direction, eh?)

OK, got me there. While the rest would theoretically be feasible with _ed* functions in FoxTools (note the signature, and keep in mind I never used any of these _ed* functions) and with "modify ... range", you have definitely beaten me with this icon.

Speaking of which, there are several icons I see there - there's the blue rectangle for the tasklist, another one for the bookmark, red dot for a breakpoint and then sometimes I see a black triangle, which disappears as soon as I start typing. I really don't know when does the arrow appear, much less why, and it's sort of confusing. Of course, there's no "black arrow" in the help... or should I look under "editor enhancements". But then, real programmers...
