That opens up another coding habit that I see from time to time:

IF MyVar = .T.

>THIS.TOPFILE = ;

>   AND (SomeotherCondition())

>>I agree with you. I was just responding with what the one line of code does. I usually use the one line method. However, I would write it like:
>>
>>

>>THIS.TOPFILE = (THIS.TOPFILE OR EOF() OR BOF())
>>

>>
>>Note the additional parens. IMO, is makes it a bit easier to read, especially if the one line is something like:
>>
>>

>>llFlag = (MyVar = SomeFunction())
>>

>>
>>Leaving off the parens is more confusing in this case
