A cursor is one of way of displaying data in VFP.

Simple enough? :-) A Cursor can be create by either opening a table (USE mytable, opens a DBF file and lets teh developer access it through a cursor), the CREATE CURSOR command (creates a cursor, duh :-), or doing a SELECT INTO CURSOR.

CURSOR's aren't OO in VFP, but they do have properties, you can get at them using CUSORSETPROP and CURSORGETPROP.
