Hi Jim,

You're right, I tested it only from the command window. BTW, it works the same way in the program in VFP 6. Isn't it a bug itself that it works differently in the program and from command window?

I totally agree with you on the color coding bug for continious comment lines. It hides problem insted of highlighting it.
