This was the second item on my most wanted list (#1 is the FRIEND keyword). IMO , the ability to edit a text file is of far greater importance than the new IntelliSense feature that was added in VFP7 (but I understand why IntelliSense appeals to most programmers).

You would be suprised what you can do with text files, especially when you have several parallel versions of a product going on at the same time.
