>>The following Create Cursor statment does not execute (in some circumstances...at least), is due, I think to the semi-colon at the end of the first line. However, since the asterisk is supposed to comment out the first line, I'm thinking this maybe is a bug?

It was noted in VFUG Newsletter quite recently...

Also I would put a space between comma and a semi-colon. You don't have to, but it increases the readability...
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
