Yeah.. I think it was probably done quite quickly!

As things like this only ever pop their heads up in dev mode they usually don't get crafted quite so carefully :)

I suppose to do this properly (well more properly), I could check for a few other windows in debug screen..
FWIW.. in VFP7 wexist('debug') seems to work properly.. ie even though the doc's say it won't it does.

So.. Tim if you have VFP7 then wexist('debug') hah... just checked VFP6.. that works too

>This works correctly in my spanish version of VFP (even though the windows have different captions). However, it only works if the watch window is open. If I open the debugger, but close the watch window, the question returns ".F.".
